We went on the Best of Bahamas dive, and it was phenomenal! The crew on the Shearwater was top notch, the food excellent, the bunks comfortable, and the dives beyond compare. Jim’s crew made sure we were engaged and had the experiences we hoped for. Jim made sure everybody who wanted to interact with the sharks did so in a safe and controlled manner. I arrived loving sharks. I left with a greater love, respect and admiration of these incredible fish. Take the trip. The only regret I have is that now I need to find a way to m... read more
Long review trying to be transparent... If you look around the internet for ways to dive with Tiger Sharks in the Bahamas you'll find you really only have two proper options. The rest are dangerous or fly by night operations. One of the two is Jim Abernathy's boat. A Google or scubaboard search for the man finds mixed reviews.

Jim and the crew were great and provided an exhilarating and safe trip. An experience of a lifetime!
Excellent operation!!! It is very clear that Jim and his crew are all very passionate about marine life conservation and ocean conservation, and they run their operation with focus on SAFETY. I have reviewed the negative reviews here, and not one of them was consistent with my experience in Jan 2025...the details provided in those negative reviews show that the reviewers fail to take any blame for their own reckless mistakes, so please don't give them any consideration
This is most definitely a life changing trip. Jim and his crew are amazing, and provide you with an experience like no other. I did the Tiger Beach trip in the Bahamas, and the encounters with the sharks were more amazing than I could ever have hoped for! Sign up now! You have to do this trip! Deb Bradley Ohio, USA
