Blackbeard cruises diving

[bdesper311]

So I am getting pretty close to booking a trip with these guys over my spring break March 19-26. I saw on here a while back that some people were getting a group together to go and I was wondering how it went or if anyone has been on these trips before. It looks like a blast but I will be going by myself so Im a little hesitant to spend that much money unless its awesome! What can I expect... how's the diving, food, boat...trip? Also, I will probably be renting all equipment, did any one else rent from them, how was the equipment? What do I need to know? Any input helps! On an unrelated note, I just got a new tank so a new build thread will be coming soon!

If they are no longer on here, has anyone heard anything about this company.... I hear it is a blast as long as you are prepared for "camping at sea"

it is worth the price and yes it is camping at sea but when you consider the price is 50% of a aggressor or explorer venture boat it is worth every penny go and have a great dive trip

it seems their prices have gone up again, seems they increase every year now when I did my last trip with them somewhere around 04 or 05 I paid something like $675 and they sailed out of miami but believe me that is one boring crossing as it takes 7 or 8 hours to sail that short 45 miles since you have to sail nearly to key west because of the gulf stream flowing north. still it is a great trip for the cost since I am booking an explorer ventures trip that leaves out of turks and caicos that is costing $1,595 plus add in $800 for air fare then throw in a motel room for a night or two

I will have to look that one up wmboots! I ended up not being able to go for the week I was looking at so now it will be later this year...

This one costs more but it is worth it:
