    Went on a diving trip with 2 of my friends last summer. This trip was with blackbeard cruises. I would highly recommend blackbeards if you are a diver. Went on 18 dives ranging from 20 ft night dives to 100 ft wall dives. And the sharks are black tip reef sharks. Counted 13 of them. Definately the craziest thing i ever did but would do it again. Let me know what pics you enjoyed best!

    Man that was a lot of pictures to go through but you kept me to the very end. That must be something to see the fish we keep in our tanks living freely in the ocean. Great job!

    Glad you enjoyed them. Pictures just don't do the justice. Being at 107 ft and look up to see the bottom of the boat clearly, just unbelievable. Every dive had something new and interesting. By far the best trip I have ever taken.

    Got on the boat at Freeport. Most dives were in and around bimini. Lionfish were definately amazing. Wish i could have got some pics from a nightdive where there were 3 huge turtles. And yes those stingrays would sneek up on you at night. Wouldn't even see them and they would come right under you. Saw over 20 on one night dive. Also so a 7ft Nurse shark on one dive but it took off when we it saw all the bodies heading towards for a closer look.

    yeah 7-8 min sounds about right....was it a drift dive? cause that would kinda suck having to get back to the line.

    get to a 100ft for 3 min then have to turn the dive haha! Did you do deep stops or just a 3 min stop at 15ft?
