UPDATE: Feb 11, 2012

The venue will be changed to Turks and Caicos and we'll have it open for booking as soon as we change the details. The dates are firm and you will still fly in and out of Provo airport code PLS.



NOTE: Would the people interested in this trip pls respond to a pm going out shortly as well as in this thread or in THIS thread on SD or in our topic on it on facebook as to whether we should change the venue to T&C for $100 a head less per person on all room types before SD booking discounts or leave it as Mayaguana since that destination is so rare?? :thankyou: This trip is ready for booking but we need to finalize the ultimate destination.

p.s Can you tell us if the deciding factor is price or the destination? :thankyou:


Posted ImageMayaguana...PRISTINE WESTERN MOST BAHAMIAN OUTPOST!! RECENTLY OPENED FOR DIVING!!! JACQUES COUSTEAU STYLE DIVING!!! This will the second year EVER diving this spectacular venue! Posted ImagePosted Image

Another exciting and very luxurious liveboard experience awaits you! We have booked the Explorer Ventures Liveaboard Posted Image for an all inclusive INCLUDING alcohol and sodas Mayaguana...What Diving Used to Be! Sept 1-8, 2012. Scheduling 5 dives daily, including night dives, the vessel boards in Providenciales Turks & Caicos airport code PLS on Saturday and offers 5 days of diving for the week. Mayaguana is the easternmost island in the Bahamas, or about 350 miles southeast of Nassau and 40 nautical miles from PLS. The island has only 300 inhabitants and miles and miles of pristine reef that has not been explored other than a few trips last year when Nekton started developing this itinerary. This is WALL DIVING on STEROIDS!! - And they start at 60-70feet so a perfect venue for Nitrox to maximize bottom time!Posted Image*Thanks to ScubaShafer for this amazing shot!!

Posted Image*Thanks to ScubaShafer for this amazing shot!!

Mayaguana has some of the most beautiful unspoiled coral reefs in all the Bahamas. Divers feel as it they are one of the first undersea explorers to see this pristine undersea world and in many cases they very well may be. With only a handful of established sites...you could be diving on completely virgin reefs. With no formal dive operations on the island, a liveaboard is the ONLY way to dive this amazing destination. Posted Image*Thanks to ScubaShafer for this amazing shot!!

Posted Image*Thanks to ScubaShafer for this amazing shot!!

For the few divers that have dove this amazing island...they have seen Nurse sharks, Caribbean reef sharks, nurmerous rays, spotted eagle rays, jacks, grouper, turtles and numerous species of fish. With Turks and Caicos so close we expect to also see blacktips, tiger sharks, hammerheads, and manta rays. This will be wall diving filled with huge gorgonian fans, barrel sponges, hard-coral arches and macro life. Perhaps the most fun aspect is that the marine life is just as curious about us as we are them! Posted Image*Thanks to ScubaShafer for this amazing shot!!

Note if we need to change the venue we can do EITHER Turks and Caicos or Mayaguana. Since Mayaguana sold out so quickly I made this Mayaguana again but we can make it T&C. -ww

Thanks Tammy, it hasn't been about saving, it's been about not having a job. But things are looking up! I've had some very promising interviews this week and hopefully will know something within the next couple of weeks! And then I'll definitely be able to put this trip on my calendar.

And I can't wait to hear about this year's trip and see the photos!
