Diving, In the Bahamas








Does 18 dives in a tropical place sound pleasing, well if so, you must try Black Beards Cruises, a live aboard dive charter. A week of diving in the Crystal Clear Waters of the Caribbean Sea is nothing but, awesome, amazing, fantastic, well I could go on forever. You will travel from one dive site to another, while eating like a king, between dives. A very experienced crew will put you on the best dive spots in the world, while all you have to think about is, what can possibly be better than your last dive.

The Bahamas are famous for their corals, and plentiful wild life. They also have a great number of wreck dives, such as Tiny T's, a scuttled tug boat right up to Theo's wreck a 250 ft ocean freighter.

The Bahamas is truly a gem in the world of diving. An adventure worth diving again in the near future. For those who are looking for a dive trip, not a beach resort with a dive package, but diving being your priority, a live aboard dive charter is the only way to go.

City of Sheboygan




An Awesome Undrwater Adventure

After planning and atempting to dive the City of Sheboygan five times last year, my dive partner and I had to scrub all atempts. This past Sunday 12 July 09, the weather finnaly was on our side. A 12 km boat ride and we were on the sight of the wreck. After gearing up we entered the water and started our long 100' descent down the line. The first 40 to 50' the thought about Vis, was that it wouldn't be all that great. The thought of seeing history was something else. This was my first visit to a wreck that went down in a storm and life was lost. Once we past the thermalcline the view was something I will never forget, she looked like a "ghost" apearing out of no where. The Vis had improved to almolst 80'. We managed to get a good view, pictures too, from her bow to stern, and everything in between. Just her great size and looks gave you a piece of her history, something to respect and remember her by. 28 minutes later we started our ascent along the line on our way to our safety stop. All I could think of, was "when can I see her again". I would highly recommend to go visit her, if given the chance and weather permitting. The City of Sheboygan is a dive site I will come back to again and again. This year and many more to follow. She is what Scuba Diving is all about. Todd V.
