Bahamas - A Liveaboard Adventure
September 2-9, 2028
The Bahamas are known for beautiful white-sand beaches and turquoise waters. Because the islands are remote, a liveaboard is the best way to experience the archipelago's diving and natural surroundings. With 40 years of experience, All Star has discovered some of the best dive locations
Availability: Contact us for booking information
This is your opportunity to dive the crystal clear waters of the Bahamas aboard AllStar Liveaboards Aqua Cat.
What can I expect?
The variety of diving is one of the top reasons to book a dive trip to the Bahamas. Divers can log wall dives, swift drifts, wreck dives, shark dives, dozens of shallow coral reefs, and even the Lost Blue Hole.
Few destinations in the world can offer such an impressive range of dive sites, and even fewer can offer this variety while remaining suitable for divers of all skill levels. Incredible visibility, minimal current (besides the Washing Machine!), simple navigation, and comfortable depths provide a fantastic diving experience for anyone with a certification card.
Can I finish some specialty classes?
Why not complete your Boat Diving, Deep Diving, and Night Diving Specialties while you are diving with your travel leaders?

The Fine Print
All prices are subject to change until booked and ticketed. As with most small island properties and vessels, cancellations are more common, so they have limited ability to fill unused spaces or services. We highly recommend trip insurance to help avoid any unnecessary problems. No refunds for missed flights or changes in plans, illness, or expired passport. All funds are due on deposit, are non-refundable and payments are only considered a no-interest financing. Purchase trip insurance within 14 days of deposit for the most benefit. Diving insurance is required. Both can be found at
http://oceanicventures.com/travel-insurance/
Both Dive Assure/DAN and Travel Guard have a family plan. Please plan to bring a copy of your logbook, C-card, and diving insurance. Oceanic Ventures and the destination trip application are required, and a deposit is required to secure space. All guests are subject to the terms and conditions of the destination above and Oceanic Ventures Travel terms and conditions.

All divers must have a properly serviced total diving equipment system, including proper safety equipment: an alternate air source, dive computer, surface signal marker, and lifeline (available to purchase or rent). Some destinations may require a fit-to-dive medical.
Your passport must have at least 6 months of validity remaining.

David & Jamie love diving and are excited to share their favorite realm with others. David's roots are in the islands; he is a native of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. Jamie also loves the water, having grown up in the Panama City area of Florida. You will never forget a David and Jamie trip, and you will want to make it an annual experience.
As they say on St. Croix...
David & Jamie's trips are nothing but good vibes!
The Full Moon Party!
Sunday night, September 3 the Corn Moon goes full! Rising around sunset and setting around sunrise, the September Full Moon is traditionally called the Corn Moon, as it occurs at a time when corn is harvested. (Alison Klesman is senior editor of Astronomy magazine)
This is not a gimmick we bolted onto the trip — it is the reason the dates exist. When the full moon falls on night two of a liveaboard in the Bahamas, you do the only reasonable thing a boat full of divers can do: throw a party.
Is there a dress code?
Something that glows.Bioluminescent-adjacent. If it lights up under a dive torch, it counts. Biodegradable glitter encouraged — and yes, we know it is basically impossible to get out of a wetsuit. That's between you and your wetsuit.
Is David curating a soundtrack?
Somebody's speaker, somebody's playlist, and one song request nobody is allowed to argue about. Submit it early. Voting is by volume.
What about photos?
The moon will be at peak brightness, and your phone will be deeply unqualified for this. The photos will be terrible. The stories will not be.
FULL MOON. NIGHT DIVING. ALL OF US. ON A BOAT IN THE BAHAMAS. What could possibly go wrong?
To be clear: nothing has to go wrong. Moonrise over the Exuma Cays, twenty-plus dives behind you, good
company and a quiet anchorage ahead. The moon does the heavy lifting. We supply the music and the
questionable decisions about dessert.
