Got there, we only had 1/2 the boat booked. Didn't do a single dive until the shark dive over 25'. I freedove all the dives. We got yelled at for spending too much time underwater by this garden gnome of a divemaster named Red. He was a jerk. The crew was fighting with eachother and didn't want to be there. The Food started off ...
Tornados and strong winds prevented us from leaving home to board the Blackbeard's ship in Freeport Bahamas. When we called to let them know and asked about rebooking, we were told there are no refunds. Their website plainly states there are no refunds and tells clients to buy trip insurance (which we thought we had, but turns out it didn't ...
I found Blackbeards charter to be disapppointing for several reasons. One : the crew was more interested in partying than in diving. We averaged 3 dives a day when easily 4 or 5 dives could have been done on this liveaboard. If you are interested in partying with minimal diving this would be the boat for you. If you are a hardcore diver and ...

Just Awesome

I just got back from an amazing week of diving and fun in February 09. The crew were simply outstanding, the food was excellent. It was absolutely clear to all of us that Captain Pancho's mission was to ensure that we had the absolute best time we could and the crew delivered.
I was a bit skeptical at first because there were some negative ...
Its amazing how many fun things Blackbeard's gets into one week! The diving is amazing....we got 23 dives done in one week! On top of the diving, we got to go spearfishing for lobster, fishing, snorkeling for sand dollars, have a beach party on an uninhabited island, visit Bimini for an afternoon, and much much more! The staff is very ...

over priced
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/20/08
Blackbeards was at one time the best deal ever but in the past 5 years the price has increased by as much as 700.00, this includeds all travel related expenses i.e. rooms in freeport, extra flight(freeport instead of Miami), extra parking time, plus several hundred dollar increase in the price, and now they short you time diving by getting into ...
Great diving! Great food! Great FUN! Everyone was friendly and helpful and the diving was unreal...especially the shark dives! I even got married on one!

Awesome Trip

The boats and crews of Blackbeard's are the best. The crews attend to your needs and make sure you have apositive experience. I have taken two trips with them and leave for my third in two weeks. We already have a group trip scheduled for May 2008.
The diving is some of the most beautiful in the world. It is a great value for the money spent!
I can't say enough good things about their operation.
