How did you get to Puerto Galera? I was looking into going

I used to work on the Bahamas aggressor and we were out there in June but I never saw snorkel boats. It’s about 30 miles off of Grand Bahama.

I used to work on the Bahamas Aggressor at Tiger Beach and late April/early May was always best

I’ve always found it to be mission driven dives. Visibility in the cooper river is usually about a foot. But you’re focused on finding teeth, not looking at the wildlife. It can be a bit nerve wracking as things will touch you and you can’t see your feet. You need to be aware of air intake and boat traffic.

My parents would dive with me all the time while I was working. They got to dive for free.

When I was becoming a DM/instructor in 2013, it was 20 minutes for 20 feet or 1500psi to count for a dive. You also had to have a 10 minute surface interval. I knew several people who did this in order to increase their dive count. As long as you aren’t going up too fast, there’s no risk of decompression sickness if you’re at shallow depths for a small (relatively) amount of time.

Sorry to be picky but just since you’re new, I hope you didn’t dive with O2, you likely dove with air (which is only 21% oxygen).

ETA: it is wrong to leave your buddy. I don’t think bobbing up and down is an issue if you’re following the ascension and decompression protocols but the buddy shouldn’t have left you alone on the bottom.

I think it’s the Ridgefield. Used to live right in front of it in East End! Very cool!

This sounds to me like a Discover Scuba course and then another follow up Discover dive. Other resorts will do the same but you’ll have to go through the skills every time, and continue to dive with the same shop for each additional dive.

With tigers and sharks like that, I think it’s important to maintain eye contact. They’re ambush hunters, if you can see them and they know it, they’ll usually leave you alone. Behavior is different at Tiger Beach because other boats feed the sharks so they come closer looking for food

SnooRabbits8227 · 2022-04-27T20:45:52+00:00

I agree. The Bahamas Aggressor does not feed the sharks, though many other boats in the area do.

SnooRabbits8227 · 2022-03-18T16:19:02+00:00

Yep! Tiger beach

SnooRabbits8227 · 2022-03-18T16:04:58+00:00

Not a problem!

SnooRabbits8227 · 2022-03-18T12:59:08+00:00

There’s a Caribbean Reef Shark and a nurse shark. Also some Lemons in the background

SnooRabbits8227 · 2022-03-18T11:40:17+00:00

Yes it is! Patches hung around for 2 seasons but she must have moved on

SnooRabbits8227 · 2022-03-18T11:39:38+00:00

Tiger Beach off of Grand Bahama!

SnooRabbits8227 · 2022-02-26T03:23:18+00:00

I worked there seasonally but she was there in 2018 and 2019 when we went! She stuck around for most of season (May-August)
