Thanks, I will order me some gloves! I've never worn them while diving, I tend to think they weren't allowed most places I've gone. Ray, you still haven't told me about the big things you saw!

Work gloves will do for that dive, you just need something to protect you from the old coral, not keep you warm.
It's the Bahamas so you will see the usual southern stingrays and sharks. What's fun on the Pilot is when the dolphins are on the bows and bump back and forth between bows. Look for Herbie the octipus on Thumbnail near Bimini, you'll see a pile of empty shells outside of his den. There are some of the biggest sea turtles I've ever seen on that trip.
There is a shark feeding, you'll sit in the sand and they will run a chumcicle down the mooring line. It's interesting but between the sand stired up and the chum in the water not a great photo op.
The second time we were fleeing hurricane Francis and they hadn't planned a feeding, that same sand we were sitting on is filled with yellow jawed gobi's, all of the photogs were down on the sand trying for pictures of gobi's while the same sharks cruised among us and I got much better pictures. If you would like to see the videos PM me your address. Ray

I'm heading to Cay Sal Bank, the most remote area of the Bahamas on the Nekton Pilot live aboard from Sat., Aug.18th - Sat., Aug 25th. The boat conveniently embarks & disembarks in Fort Lauderdale, FL. If anyone is interested, do join in on this trip!
