Bahamas Aggressor - Nassau & New Providence
The Bahamas Aggressor calls Nassau home, and if you’re looking to pack in the dives, this liveaboard is a solid pick. They run week-long trips, usually heading out to the Exumas, which means less time commuting and more time underwater. It's a great choice if you're serious about your diving education too, as they offer instructor training right on board. We’ve found the Aggressor trips strike a good balance, hitting a range of sites from shark dives to drift dives, and the sheer number of dives you get in makes it worthwhile.
