Well we did our dive a week or two ago, in Bimini with Neal Watson. Although they don’t offer transportation to and from the cruise terminal, we walked out into town and easily got a cab. We also got the business card for the cabbie, and Neal Watson let us use their phone to call him after the dive. No issues getting back to the boat.
As for the diving, it was ok. Not the best diving I’ve done, but our group was large and it was probably the best way to spend the day at port. Overall, our cruise ship lacked really any interesting shore excursions so it was still good.
We went to the USS Sapona, a historic wreck with a max depth of about 20 feet. From the historic perspective it was an interesting wreck, although from a diving perspective it doesn’t hold a candle to wreck diving is south Florida. The other dive we did was a shark dive, max depth about 30 feet.
They limited us to around 40 minutes per dive. Overall it was fine, certainly not the best diving or charter experience I’ve ever had, but by no means bad.
