Hi,

Check Grand Bahama Scuba : http://www.grandbahamascuba.com/.

I was there in February 2001, it was great.

$100 less than normal price?

If at first you don't succeed, you run the risk of failure.

Yes, another word mysteriously didn't make it from my inner voice to the
keyboard.

BTW- thats "a little less" ( $776 less )  then Dan's favorite boat.

Columbus Isle.   Club Med is the best deal... all-inclusive, and if
you go with the one-other hotel, Riding Rock, you'll end up paying $25
for meals.

Cattle boats, but only the classes end up having guides, so it's easy
to avoid the rest of the boat once in the water.

No nitrox available.

My family and I dove 3 days with Stuart Cove's operation in December '02 -
if there is a better, more friendly, more accomodating, cleaner and
better-run dive operation in the WORLD - let alone the Bahamas,-  I'd be
amazed. We loved them. We stayed on Paradise Island, across from Nassau, and
they picked us up and delivered  us back to our hotel each day. A wonderous
group of people, and Stuart is to be credited 100% for it. He sat with us
each day and made sure we had the best time he and his crew could provide. A
great guy, running a great operation.

I spent three days there as well and concur with Dennis ... a very well
run operation and thoroughly enjoyable. If they still run them, I
recommend the shark feeding dive. Very cool. I was the first off the boat
and didn't realize why everyone was looking over the transom when I was
suiting up. I did my giant stride and as the bubbles cleared, there were
me and a dozen sharks circling me. Needless to say, I made it down the
line in record time.

I thought about the shark dive, but decided against it.  But here's just one
more thing that shows how cool this operation was - on my last day, I told
the boat captain I was disappointed in seeing *no* sharks  over our 3 days
of diving with them, and told him this was my last chance. So he took us to
where they feed them during the shark dive, then faked them out so they'd
come around us to see if food was being served. LOTS showed up, and we were
surrounded by them. Very cool dive, one my daughter and I will never forget.
