    They'll gladly take your credit cards and cash, one for one. But expect Bahamas dollars in change. Wifi is spotty at the condo, but good enough to get out a few emails. But not Netflix or something.

    Though I've done the SVRS thing for the last three trips, they never issued me a card, didn't even know they existed.

    Bahamas does not allow spearfishing while using scuba (not sure if there is an exemption for lionfish). They do allow the use of a Hawaiian sling while snorkeling. It was exceedingly difficult if you ask me, right @tim h!!??

    The number in a group depends on the total participants. Multiple groups may not be needed. We would probably make that decision at the captains meeting.

    I fabricated the seat setup. I bought the seat bare, a shorter post, a receptacle for the post, and a swivel, and the rod cup. https://jetboaters.net/threads/fishing-seat-build.935/#post-14373 The outrigger holders were custom and plenty expensive...

    I think there's already a thread on this. But it depends on what kind of fishing you want to do. Fishing off the bottom by dropping bait down, or trolling.
