Comments	I had been wanting to dive with Tiger Sharks at Tiger Beach for quite some time. The opportunity came up and I did Nov. 11-17, 2018 with Blue Iguana Charters out of Key Largo, Florida (their HQ location - we all met at Old Bahamian Bay on the West End of Grand Bahama Island to board the dive vessel. Left port on a Sunday night and returned the following Saturday by noon. Did nothing but shark dives all day Monday through Friday. Great crew and shark procedures. We had non-stop Tiger Shark action with as many as 6 Tigers at a time. Even saw one very large Hammerhead (still early in the season for Hammerheads). Lots of Lemon and Caribbean Reef Sharks as well. The shark diving was "up close and personal" (no cage0 and exceeded my expectations. The crew was pleasant and accommodating. Connor, the Shark Wrangler, was excellent. This crew knows how to bring in the sharks and get the most out of every dive. I have about 30 hours of raw video from that trip. I recommend this dive operator without reservation and hope to dive with them again in the future.
