I had wanted to stay at Powell Pointe Resort but they were fully booked, so I had to settle for a one-day snorkel trip. Stephen, the manager of the resort, and his wife Maggie took me out on a diveboat and while Maggie manned the helm, Stephen and I went into the water. Visibility was perfect, loads of coral and...

I enjoyed the diving experience I had at Powell Point Dive Center so much that I went back to Eleuthera to dive with again with Neal the Dive Master. I am an avid underwater photographer, so I brought along my camera equipment and asked them to take take me to dive spots that would lend themselves nicely to photographs. In... More

We had a great time diving with Neal and Emily. They really know their way around down to some absolutely beautiful dive sites. Would definitely recommend when you make it to Eleuthera to go dive with them. More

Everytime we are down at Cape Eleuthera we dive with Neal. He is friendly, knowledgeable, informative and just lots of fun to dive with. We highly recommend diving with him. He knows the area real well and you will find him attentive to detail. If you are gonna dive on Eleuthera, you can't go wrong with Neal Watson. More

I took my son (with another father son combo) to Cape Eleuthera for a week over Thanksgiving. Our sons (both 10) had just gotten their scuba cert, so that was the focus of our trip. We first went diving off Harbour Island in north Eleuthera. The diving there was VERY rough, since you dive off the exposed northern tip. In... More

We booked a seven day dive package with Neal Watson Jr. and did not regret doing it. We had a blast. Neal and Emily are a fantastic crew that will go the extra mile for the customer. During out visit, we had a few days of bad weather that kept the boat at the dock. Neal was eager to cover... More
