April 2018 Blackbeard’s Cruise w/ DWF

Join DiveWithFrank and Columbia Scuba for a week of amazing diving in the Exuma Cays during the week of April 14th-20th, 2018.

We are taking the Sea Explorer LiveAboard out of Nassau, Bahamas.  The Sea Explorer is a 60 foot sailboat built specifically for diving.

I did a Blackbeard’s Cruise in January, 2017 and had a fantastic time. My trip report can be found here. So in 2018 I’m heading back and bringing several of my closest new scuba buddies!

I had such a great time!  A week of warm, crystal clear diving.  Unplugged from the Internet and my cell phone for a whole week.

One of the passengers on our last trip summed it up pretty nicely “Ya know all those notifications that came in while I was gone?…none of them were very important.”

This is by far the most reasonably priced diving experience I’ve seen.  Seriously, you can’t beat this deal with a stick!  We have no set itinerary, we travel around the Exuma Cays going wherever the crew thinks the diving will be the best.  Think of “On The Road” with diving and guaranteed meals.
