I have spent many hours agonizing over whether to book with a dive company when setting a dive trip up. On many occasions I have been corralled into a dive boat, scooted out to some unknown reef, dropped over board, and told to pull a buoy so the captain of the boat would know where I was when he decided...

The first thing I look at when considering diving, is the boat's ladder. Will it be easy to get back into the boat? Even if the sea is rough? This might sound silly, but Grand Bahama Scuba has a very comfortable boat, with a routine that makes it easy to get into and out of the water. I put on... More

This is our first time on Grand Bahama. We are staying at Ocean Reef Yacht Club, so meeting Fred and Melinda was a blessing. I wanted to dive with my 21 year old daughter and so we had our first mother, daughter dive together. We could not have selected a better crew to dive with. Melinda was very accommodating when...

I hadn't dived in years and it was nice to be able to go out and not have to worry about setting up you gear. Fred and Melinda took good care of me even picking me up and dropping me off at my hotel. They took us out to two dive spots that both had sharks. Guess with a name... More

The owners are incredibly knowledgeable. Melinda sets up everyone's gear faster than you can turn around, and I learned more from Fred about the Bahamas -- above and below the water than I could ever have imagined. It's a very relaxed dive experience -- we stayed right under the boat so there was plenty of time to explore carefully. Melinda... More

I read the reviews before I went and I was very disapointed. First off, our cab driver was an islander and she was surprised we were going there. She had never brought anyone. When we arrived we seemed to be bothering Melinda. We asked about the weather and she was very rude. If the ride to get there had not... More

My husband is an experienced diver and I'm a beginner (haven't been diving since my certification a few years ago), and diving with Fred and Melinda was a fantastic experience for both of us! We went to a wreck site for our first dive and a shark dive on the second.... all for a very reasonable price. Diving with Grand... More

The dive master Fred and his wife Melinda were absolutely amazing. It has been my dream to dive with sharks, and when I inquired about the diving options Grand Bahama Scuba had and my desire to shark dive, he instantly said that would be no problem and he would do a two tank dive for us and make sure we...

Fred and Melinda are the best to dive with hands down! I was licensed with Fred back in 2004 in the Bahamas and have done many dives with him! Shipwrecks, shark dives- everywhere he goes is fun because he knows so much and makes each dive unique. I have brought several different family members and friends down to learn to... More
