The Aqua Cat ranks as one of the best overall liveaboard dive boats in the
world.  Berthed in Nassau, it's easy to reach and sails to sites seldomed
visited in the Exumas and Eleuthra chains.  Variety of sites to include
walls, swim throughs, blue holes, and drift dives.  Up to 5 dives a day at
various sites gives divers of all skill levels multiple opportunities. 
Fish life varies from sharks, rays, turtles to nudibranchs and tiny shrimp.
 Boat is configured specifically for divers with ample sized suites,
individual bathrooms, plenty of hot water, daily maid service, individually
controlled A/C in each room.  Dive deck is laid out to ensure each diver
has ample space for all their gear and is convenient for enterng and
exiting the water.  Salon and eating area are spacious and meals varied and
tasty.  Chef caters to individual requests and needs and fresh between
meals snacks are available.  Entire crew is customer oriented and capable
of helping in any situation.
