Hi there. I got my OW and AOW qualification 7 years ago and have only rarely dived since (having spent the morning on this excellent forum, I am asking myself the same question, "why?").
I'm going to be in the Bahamas for a wedding in a couple of weeks (8/28 - 9/05) ... I'm travelling alone (from London, single) and, after the wedding (at Atlantis, Paradise Island), I'm going over to Grand Bahama to stay at the Our Lucaya for 4 days, before flying back to the UK. I'd love to do some diving whilst I'm there (at the very least, to justify the expense of going such a long way out there for a short period).
I'd be really grateful if anyone out there could give me a little help:
(1) Is there a particular operator you would recommend for a 30 year-old, ring-rusty diver? For sure, I'll have to do a "rusty diver" mini-course (I wouldn't be happy diving again otherwise). Will it be a problem if I am out there on my own? I qualified with my brother and have never been diving without "my own buddy".
(2) Are there any "must-do" dives?
(3) Any recommended places to go out in Lucaya, where the single, young (-ish) man will find a warm welcome (quasi-serious suggestions only ...)?
Many thanks for your time - I appreciate it.
