I have just completed a very enjoyable six days of diving with Captain Keith Rodgers. I have been diving for decades and unquestionable his ‘Dive Abaco’ outfit in Marsh Harbor, Abaco is one of the most professional and friendly operations I have encountered. A comfortable well equipped dive boat and dive shop just made my favorite recreation even more enjoyable. I did hate to leave. My wife and I arrived after a week of strong north winds had made the outer barrier reef inaccessible to diving. I feared I would have to wait a couple of days for conditions to settle down. Not a problem. Keith’s knowledge of the area is complete. He had a diving adventure for his clients every day. While the sea conditions settled down we did great drift dives in the Pelican Cay National Park and on Snake Cay as well as a very memorable dive at the Treasure Cay Blue Hole. The last two locations were my favorites. At Snake Cay we entered still shallow water, entertaining ourselves turning over some Upside-Down Jellyfish (Cassiopeia). As we swam to deeper water the current increased and we drifted for 30 minutes through inshore coral structures well populated with all the familiar reef fish as well as several not so familiar Lionfish. While I had dived Blue Holes on Andros Island I found the Treasure Cay hole interestingly different. A vertical hand line allowed me to follow the dive master down through 50 feet of fresh water, followed by a 10 feet sulfide layer into clear but now dark salt water. Our hand held lights displayed very large stalactites, a fish that appeared to have neither tail fins nor eye pupils, and a conch shell embedded in the limestone wall. I remember looking up at a stalactite that was larger than me, in every dimension, and tried to image the time-line of this amazing place. When the outer reefs became accessible we dove several days in the Fowl Cay National Park. Caribbean Reef sharks, Eagle rays, very large Grouper, and all the familiar fish we all enjoy are found in that Bahamian preserve. Captain Keith is certainly the king of the swim-through. We not only dove on and around but also through every reef in the park. Simply wonderful. If you get to Abaco be sure and dive with Keith at ‘Dive Abaco.’
