Recommendations for Bahamas

[Frogman82]

We are three guys from Norway going to Miami for a week in the end of August. All three are divers and we are planning on heading to Bahamas for at least a couple of days to do some various diving, not technical stuff.

We are looking for recommendations on dive centres/operators not too far from the Freeport area on Bahamas, and we obviously need recommendations for decent hotels.

As for diving certificates, one of us is certified through CMAS. Is that going to be a problem? Have heard that some places don't accept that certificate.

We'll also be heading towards the Keys after a few days, any suggestions on dive destinations there?

Thanks!

We were in Freeport in November 2014. It was a family vacation with a few dives along the way.
Stayed at the Memories resort and dove with UNEXSO.

Grand Bahama Scuba gets VERY good reviews here on Scubaboard though.

We had generally good experience with UNEXSO. Only complaint was that there was some duplication of dive sites.

I assume that you will not be flying to the Bahamas so you dont have to wait. I have not done this but here is a suggestion on getting there and where to dive.

Bimini SuperFast - Resorts World Bimini - Shuttle boat from Miami-Bimini . They also have hotel packages.
