August 21-28 2004 - Cay Lobos, Bahamas

These underwater photos were taken during a 7 day dive live aboard trip to Cay Lobos, Bahamas onboard the Nekton Rorqual. The Rorqual departed Ft Lauderdale on a route that included Bimini, some samller cays on the Great Bahama Bank west of Andros, Cay Lobos, then Cay Sal bank on the return trip to Bimini. We did 24 dives in 6 days, including 2 night dives.

Weather was sunny with occasional tropical rain, and seas were generally flat. Visibility ranged from 30-40 feet on some sites to 80-100 feet on others. Water temperatures were uniformly 84F. Depths ranged from 40 feet to 150 feet, deeper off the wall.

The Rorqual is a large square dormitory sitting atop a pair of SWATH pontoons. It has adequate berths for 30 divers, good food, a friendly crew, diluted nitrox, and a cramped dive deck.
