BAHAMAS MASTER
WRECKS, BLUE HOLES & SHARKS
Shark Feed Dives at Tiger Beach

June 7-14, 2025

ML-Secondary-Logo-NAVY-BACKGROUND-rgb.jpeg

My friends…I am super excited to offer this action-packed 7-night liveaboard dive vacation to the beautiful waters around the Northern Bahamas. Specifically…diving around Grand Bahama, Andros & New Providence Islands. We have done 3 consecutive trips on the Aqua Cat, diving The Exuma’s and Eleuthera, so this is going to be a new adventure for us all. 
 

The big event of the trip will be our dive day at the world-famous Tiger Beach. Here we will be doing multiple shark feed dives with Tiger Sharks, Bull Sharks, Sand Tigers, Black Tip Reef Sharks, Lemon Sharks & if we are lucky (and I’m a lucky guy 😊) The Great Hammerhead Shark!
 

There are only a few places in the world where you can dive up close with these beautiful and misunderstood monarchs of the ocean. Indeed…a lot of our dive travelers here at First Coast Divers have experienced the adrenaline rush of The Cathedral shark feed dive in Fiji (personally…that was probably one of my best dives ever).

 

People who have done that dive will tell you that it was a truly spectacular and eye-opening experience. I say “eye-opening” because of how pleasant it was to be in close proximity to these big sharks and not be afraid and to also come to the realization that these animals mean us no harm. It is truly a great gift to be able to be at peace with yourself when you’re in the presence of these awesome creatures, so you can just enjoy the moment.
 

Even though the dive day at Tiger Beach is the highlight of the trip, this trip is certainly action-packed with wonderful dive sites for us to explore. We will be doing the majority of our diving near Grand Bahama, Andros & New Providence Islands. The Andros Barrier Reef, The Great Blue Hole, James Bond Wrecks, Heineken Wall just to name a few of the dive sites. This trip has something for everyone. Big Sharks, Reefs/Walls/Blue Holes, and numerous wrecks. Adventure and discovery await!!
 

For this adventure, we have partnered again with Master Liveaboards and we will be guests onboard the Bahama Master Liveaboard dive yacht. During this week, we will have the opportunity to do up to 22 guided dives (weather permitting) in a part of the Bahamas that is new to a lot of us. I have done numerous trips with Master Liveaboards so I am fully expecting to be well cared for... Not only on the Bahama Master, but also by crew, the diving, and certainly the food!

SPACE IS LIMITED!

For this trip, we can take a maximum of 16 guests only.

Don’t wait long because I fully expect to sell out this unique trip quickly.
