The Exuma Cays are a part of the more remote Out Islands of the Bahamas. The Cays are the most exotic of these islands, a collection of sandy jewels set in the aquamarine and sapphire of some of the most beautiful waters in the world along with an intriguing combination of walls and rich shallow reefs.
Night diving allows guests to experience an entirely different group of critters and bevy of behaviors not visible during the day. With all dives from the mothership, five dives a day are offered except for the last diving day.
All 7-night trips, diving begins Sunday morning and ends Friday before lunch when the Aggressor returns to port (one dive is offered Friday).
