Cat Island Shark Expedition
Cat Island Shark Expedition
Encounters with the Oceanic White Tip Shark are truly spectacular, and Cat Island is the best place to find them. These sharks call the wide open ocean home and must remain on the move since they can’t pump water over their gills. As such, our dives will be ‘blue water dives,’ which means we’ll be drifting over the open ocean with only a buoy as a reference. This is an experience unlike anything else because of the insane clarity of the water and the high probability of seeing Oceanic White Tip Sharks.
The expedition starts at the Greenwood Resort where Jay Clue, award-winning underwater photographer, conservationist & leader of Dive Ninjas, will show you the best of this remote paradise. The first day will be relaxed as people arrive and check-in. In the evening, Jay Clue will explain everything to expect for the expedition. Each day will be filled with good food, diving in crystal clear water, and gorgeous pink sand beaches. The Bahamas is full of other incredible creatures, so you never know what else we’ll encounter during our explorations!
Located on the eastern edge of the Bahamas, Cat Island makes you feel like you’ve been transported back in time to before the Bahamas became a tourist destination. Unlike its bigger brothers, the island is very quiet, with only a few developments on the entire island. For this trip we will be staying with our friends at Greenwood Resort. This family-run hotel is located on miles of untouched pink sand beaches with coral reefs at its doorstep. The patio at the hotel restaurant is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise from the Atlantic while having a morning coffee. Between dives, you can snorkel the local reefs, cool off in the pool, or lounge on the beach or in the tropical gardens found all around the hotel grounds.
All hotel rooms have air conditioning, hot water, private ensuite bathrooms, and private patios. Single supplements are available to upgrade to a private room for the length of the trip.
