Dive the Bahamas on the All Star Aqua Cat
The Bahamas Dive Experts
For more than 45 years, All Star Liveaboards has been operating dive liveaboards in the Bahamas. We offer three different dive vessels each with their own unique appeal.
All Star Aqua Cat personifies our best in service. Aqua Cat’s dive adventure showcases the Bahamas’ Exuma Cays and, weather permitting, Eleuthera, to its northeast. We know the islands and the best dive sites.
The Ultimate Liveaboard
For those looking for a luxury dive adventure, the All Star Aqua Cat is the answer. Our full-service floating resort comes complete with accommodations for couples, singles and groups, scuba diving, dive equipment rental and storage, meals, snacks, bar, water sports, eco adventures and port nights. Our award-winning captain and crew are at your service. Year after year, the Aqua Cat has voted the best dive liveaboard in the Caribbean by “Scuba Diving Magazine” readers.

Dive Sites
We count more than 100 dive sites in the Exuma Cays and, weather permitting, near Eluethera. The 26 dives featured each week are designed to give divers the greatest variety of Caribbean diving possible – reefs, wrecks, walls, blue holes and high speed drift dives.
Shore Excursions
Aqua Cat offers many other water-based activities, such as snorkeling, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding and fishing. Explore a few of the 200 mostly uninhabited islands with their many beautiful beaches in the northern Exumas. Some are perfect for hiking or sunbathing on a deserted beach.
On Board
Let Aqua Cat serve as your floating home-away-from-home while on your dive vacation. Our captain and crew strive to provide genuine hospitality and attention-to-detail service. Guests can stay in an outside cabin each with two large windows or an inside cabin with skylights. Your dive trip includes meals, snacks and bar service.
Diving
What makes the Bahamas and especially the Exuma Cays and nearby Eleuthera, the latter weather permitting, so popular is the variety of diving – wrecks, reefs, blue holes, walls and high-speed drift dives. During your time aboard the dive liveaboard Aqua Cat, we offer up to 26 daytime and night time diving opportunities. Our goal is to help you to fill up your log book. As a reminder, divers will be limited to daytime dives, if you partake in Happy Hour!

Shore Excursions
If you thought our scuba diving trips meant you’d be found either on the Aqua Cat or underwater the entire time, think again. Divers and non-divers can enjoy shore excursions, and water activities. Our jet drive boat, Sea Dog, transports guests from our boat to shore for land-based activities, such as:
- Visiting Exuma Land & Sea Park
- Beachcombing on uninhabited cays
- Learning about uninhabited Bahamian islands during guided walking tours, focusing on history, nature, legend and lore
- Encountering local wildlife – sea and shorebirds, iguanas and yes, even pigs
- Relaxing on a secluded beach
Other recreational activities:
- Kayaking along the beach and in the creek amid mangroves
- Learning or mastering stand up paddleboarding (SUPs)
- Snorkeling along the beach and in grottos, and discovering life below the waterline
- Kneeboarding or tubing
- Jumping into the water from our make-shift tree swing
- Fishing for local favorites
Dining
Your trip includes three meals a day – breakfast, lunch and dinner – plus snacks. Each is prepared on board by our chef and highlights American and Bahamian cuisine. For the convenience and flexibility of guests, buffet service is featured for breakfast, lunch and most dinners. The most formal event is a casual sit-down dinner one evening, where guests can choose from one of several entrees and wine selections.
If you have special dietary needs or restrictions, please note such on the Trip Application form. With advance notice, our chef can prepare special menus, such as vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free, etc.
Beverage selections at our bar include soft drinks, bottled water, wine, cocktails, rum drinks and local craft beer on tap. < NEEDS to MATCH INCLUDED LIST
