When you think of Don Mann, you might picture the grit and determination of a retired Navy SEAL from SEAL Team Six or the thrill of survival challenges on his hit TV series Surviving Mann. But recently, Don embarked on a very different kind of mission, his honeymoon scuba diving vacation in the Bahamas.
After filming Surviving Mann All Stars aboard the Belize Aggressor III liveaboard, Don shared with Aggressor Adventures CEO Wayne Brown that one day he hoped to return, not for work, but for a true vacation. Last week, that dream became reality aboard the Bahamas Aggressor II, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary.

A Honeymoon Beneath the Waves
Over six unforgettable days, Don completed 26 spectacular dives in the Bahamas, exploring vibrant coral reefs and crystal clear waters teeming with marine life. Each dive revealed breathtaking underwater landscapes, creating memories that will last a lifetime. But what truly set this adventure apart was the luxury liveaboard experience.
“The staff, the crew, the food, the service, and every amenity exceeded anything I could have imagined,” Don said. “It was, without question, the best vacation of my life.”

Luxury Scuba Diving in the Bahamas
From the moment Don and his wife Tara stepped aboard, the crew delivered 5-star service. Professional, attentive, and passionate about creating an unparalleled guest experience. The culinary team served gourmet meals daily, elevating the trip far beyond expectations. Every detail reflected Aggressor Adventures’ mission: to help guests experience the world both above and below, all with 5-star service.
Diving the Exuma Cays: A Bahamas Paradise Beneath the Surface
The Exuma Cays are a diver’s dream, offering some of the most pristine waters in the Caribbean. Known for their stunning underwater scenery, these islands feature colorful coral gardens, gentle slopes, and dramatic walls that descend into the clear blue depths of the Exuma Sound. Visibility often exceeds 100 feet, creating the perfect setting for unforgettable dives.

Guests can enjoy encounters with Caribbean reef sharks, graceful eagle rays, and vibrant schools of tropical fish, all thriving among healthy reefs. Signature sites like the Austin Smith Wreck, a former Bahamian Defense Force vessel, and Dog Rocks Reef showcase incredible marine life and breathtaking coral formations. For a unique experience, the famous “Washing Machine” drift dive offers a smooth, effortless ride along the reef, making it a favorite among guests.
Exuma Land and Sea Park
One of the crown jewels of the Bahamas, the Exuma Land and Sea Park is a protected marine sanctuary spanning over 176 square miles. This no-take zone ensures thriving ecosystems, making it home to some of the healthiest reefs in the Caribbean. Divers here will find vibrant coral gardens, abundant marine life, and crystal-clear waters, all preserved in their natural state. From colorful reef fish to majestic groupers and occasional sea turtles, every dive within the park feels like stepping into an untouched underwater paradise.

Whether exploring shallow reefs or gliding along majestic walls, the Exuma Cays provide a serene and captivating underwater world that will leave every diver inspired.
