NoobCruise Posted July 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I am looking for a small cruise ship that focuses on Scuba diving. Something along the lines of Un-Cruise Adventures, with 50 to 100 passengers, but with several diving excursions offered instead of just snorkeling. Can anyone recommend one?

ducklite Posted July 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Windstar in Tahiti. There are five days on a one week cruise where diving is offered, including two tank dives. Ship holds 180 or so passengers, but only a couple/few dozen will be divers. Edited July 11, 2014 by ducklite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted July 11, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Certified divers do not need a cruise line excursion to go SCUBA diving and most simply make their own arrangements with local dive shops. We have been on several cruises to both Bonaire and Grand Cayman (both excellent SCUBA ports) and the divers we met on the ship all did their own thing. Most divers do not want any part of a cruise line excursion :). As to so-called "novice dives" where an uncertified person can do a SCUBA dive, many tour providers are reticent to offer this through cruise lines because of insurance issues. But any cruiser can certainly contact a local dive shop (via the internet) before their cruise to find out if they offer such dives. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobCruise Posted July 11, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted July 11, 2014 That's why we're looking for something other than cruise lines. I found Aquacat out of Nassau. That is what we're looking for, though not a "ship" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
