Join Nova Ventures Dive Club as we travel to Nassau, The Bahamas for a seven day live-a-board experience
of a lifetime! This trip will depart Nassau and travel south to the Exeuma Islands onboard the Cat Ppalu a 65
foot catamaran that has been specifically outfitted for live-a-board diving.

This is a one of a kind live-a-board experience on the Cat Ppalu, Catamaran. The boat sleeps 12 passengers
and has an exceptional staff. The gin clear waters of the Exuma Islands provides absolutely some of the best
in reef, wall, drift, blue hole and wreck diving anywhere in the world.

The trip cost of $1350.00 covers Live-a-board & taxes only and is payable by contacting John Shanks at
jeshanks@novascuba.org. Travel to and from the Bahamas & crew Gratuity is each individuals responsibility.
Live-A-Board includes all meals, all diving and air fills and beverages, including alcohol. The chef is top
notch and provides three exeptional meals daily and snacks between dives.

Space is limited so reserve yours today. A $500.00 deposit holds your spot on the boat. For more
information contact the John at 202-246-0663 or e-mail at jeshanks@novascuba.org.

The Cat Ppalu provides comfortable living quarters with private sinks
and air conditioned cabins. The galley is large and provides enough
space for the chef to prepare exceptional meals and snacks. Soda
and beer are on tap and wine is served with dinner nightly. The
specially designed dive platform at the rear of the catamaran makes
for easy on and off with air fills completed with your BC in place. The
twin canopies at the front of the catamaran are excellent for sun
tanning, reading a book or just relaxing during your surface interval.

*** This is a unique live-a-board experience. Since space is
limited we are chartering the entire boat. Everyone on this
trip will be from Nova Ventures, which means we own the
boat for the week. Leading the trip will be John Shanks,
Nova Ventures, President and Dive Control Speicalist who
has been diving all over the Caribbean. John has been on the
Cat Ppalu in the past and will work with the crew to ensure
the best possible trip for everyone! If you have specific
questions please contact John directly at
jeshanks@novascuba.org.
