Looking for small, all inclusive lodge in Bahamas

[a1parrothead]

Hello,
Still debating this summers vacation. I am thinking about the Bahamas but am unsure where to go. I am sure what I want. I am looking for a small all inclusive dive lodge (not resort) on a smaller island. Something that is not a cattle boat operation. I am not particular about the accommodation's as long as there is food and good diving. There will be 4 of us, all diving. Probably about 7 days of diving and a 10 night stay. It would be nice if there were some other sites or activities on the island, but thats not a requirement. Mostly, I just want some good personal care and attention for the diving and a peaceful place to do it. Any ideas would be great.
Thanks, Jeff

You just described: Small Hope Bay Lodge on Andros

Except maybe for the other activities part...

I spent xmass on San Salvador in the Riding Rock resort. Cracking diving! Can't talk highly enough!
Other activities? I was told you could go to Club Med for an evenings entertainment and slap up meal! (not inexpensive)

You can also try Coral Caverns Dive Resort, Andros Island, Bahamas On Andros as well. Excellent diving and good food.

I know that Staniel Cay has just opened up its first dive Op. The accommodations there are great and a very laid back atmosphere!!

Stella Maris on Long Island meets your requirements. I've been 2x. Their packages include round trip air from Nassau. Long Island doesn't have much (any?) nightlife, but there are a few mostly outdoors oriented activites on the family out island. They are NOT a cattle boat operation and you will get lots of personal attention.

We're on our way to try this one in mid February. First time ...fingers crossed!
