• Climate and water temperature:

  Climate and Weather
  The Bahamas have a sub-tropical savannah climate, with a dry winter season from November
  to April, and wet summer season from May to October.
  November through April features mild temperatures, lots of sunshine and little rainfall,
  whereas the rainy season is slightly more humid and warm. Daytime temperatures average
  around 25°C (77°F) during the winter months and 31°C (88°F) during the summer months, with a cooling down in the evening.
  Rain showers can happen at any time throughout the year, although during the winter months
  they are short and light. The wettest months are June - September with fairly intense, but
  brief thunderstorms accompanied by strong gusty winds, followed by a return intense
  sunshine and breezy conditions.
  Water Temperature and Exposure Suits
  Water temperatures range from 23°C in January to 29°C (74°-84°F) in August. Most guests are comfortable diving in a 3mm or 5mm full-length wetsuit. However, your thermal protection
  should be based on your individual sensitivity and comfort. Guests who are more susceptible
  to cold, especially when doing multiple dives per day, should consider packing a thicker wetsuit and/or bringing a vest/hood.

• Diving information:

  Diving in the Bahamas differs from other locations due to the shark dives; you will spend the
  majority of the dives kneeling down or standing in one spot watching the sharks, so will not be
  moving much. Please take this into consideration regarding wetsuit thickness and suitable
  thermal protection if you get cold easily from lack of movement underwater.
  
  Shark Dives: Scheduled shark dives involve baiting (chumming) or hand-feeding.
  On hand-feeding dives, guests will be split into 2 groups of no more than 8 divers. One group
  at a time is taken to the feeding site with the shark feeder and a safety diver. During the
  feeding, guests kneel on the sandy bottom in a V formation behind the feeder to watch the
  shark action. There is often a current from the Gulf Stream around Tiger Beach and, because
  the sites are no more than 10-15 metres, there can also be strong swells so guests will be
  given extra weights.
  
  The minimum age for participation in shark dives is 18 years old.
  
  Open Pool: On certain dive sites, after the scheduled baited / feeding dives, there is an open
  pool policy where guests can jump in the water and watch the action as the mood takes them.

• Guest's level of diving :

  It is recommended that guests wishing to participate in scuba diving aboard Bahamas Master
  have PADI Advanced Open Water* certification, or equivalent, with a minimum of 50 logged
  dives. You will be asked to show certification cards and a record of your logged dives when
  you board as proof of experience.
  
  *Guests with the minimum number of required dives but are not certified as Advanced Open
  Water divers, may be able to complete the course on board, depending on the itinerary.
  Please contact our reservations team for further information.
  
  Any guests who do not fulfil the recommended minimum requirements, or who the crew feel
  have insufficient experience in certain conditions, may be denied participation in some or all
  dives during the liveaboard.
  
  If you have any questions or concerns regarding the diving conditions please contact our
  reservations team directly.
