It's looking ugly for the Bahamas and the TCIs as of today through the end of the week.

I just got back!!! weather was amazing. I think we saw 5 drops of rain and I am still ocnvinces that atleast one of them came from a guy sneezing on the beach!

top side the weather was perfect. water wasn't bad either. 89 deg. visibility was somewhat disapointing though. down around 40-45 feet it dropped drastically. didn't see any of the "big" fish either. no sharks nuttin.

overall it was amazing though. one lesson learned it I will not dive with an AI that includes the diving. we stayed at beaches resort. they made us do a check out dive in a pool...not to bad...but then they limited your bottom time to a strick 30 minutes and 60'!!! I can see why, most of the divers there only get one dive a year and it showed! the "ironic" thing is in the check out dives the two chicks with AOW certs had to redo all of their skills b/c they were so bad at them. I am only OW but have been diving since '99. I just haven't felt the need to pay someone to show that I can dive from a boat, or a to 120'. but that's just me.

I will post some pics and report shortly, still trying to catch up at work

Let me guess: Beaches?

yep, but isn't that the only AI that includes scuba on the island?

Thats what makes me such a good guesser!
