DIVING
Blue holes, big fish, sharks, sea gardens, wrecks, reefs, caves, walls, shoals and dolphins all conspire to make diving in The Bahamas truly spectacular. Thousands of sites, crystal clear water and water temperatures that range from the mid-70’s in the winter months to the mid-80’s in the summer, add up to a year-round diving season. Visibility runs from 80 to 150+ feet year round. While UNEXSO, one of the most famous scuba school centres in the world is located on Grand Bahama, dive shops and operators can be found throughout the islands.
