Dive Area & Sites

The Bahamas offers an unparalleled diving experience, renowned globally for its exceptional visibility often exceeding 30 meters and consistently warm waters. Divers on the Blue Marlin can expect to explore vibrant coral reefs, dramatic wall dives, and fascinating wrecks, but the true highlight lies in the thrilling shark encounters. The itineraries are meticulously crafted to bring guests face-to-face with Tiger, Hammerhead, Bull, and Lemon sharks at famous spots like Tiger Beach and Bimini. With up to five dives offered daily, the Blue Marlin caters to a wide range of divers, from recreational enthusiasts to those pursuing technical and rebreather diving. The vessel provides comprehensive support with two robust tender boats for easy access to dive sites and a large dive platform. A dedicated camera station with rinse tanks and charging facilities ensures that underwater photographers have everything they need. To ensure a safe and rewarding experience, divers are required to hold a PADI Advanced or CMAS 2 certification and have a minimum of 50 logged dives. For those looking to expand their skills, the Blue Marlin offers various specialty courses, including Nitrox, wreck, deep, and drift diving, as well as a unique Shark Diver program.
