Beneath The Bahamas – What a trip!

Published 8 years agoon June 19, 2018

Our trip to dive The Bahamas saw us visit four islands: Grand Bahama, Bimini, Andros and New Providence. The itinerary was designed to give us a taste of some of the best diving The Bahamas has to offer, as well as experience island culture and have some fun above the water too. Mix that with gorgeous weather, flat-calm, warm, clear blue seas and you have a wonderful trip on your hands.

We dived wrecks and reefs covered in marine life, we dived with six different species of shark, we snorkeled with dolphins and turtles, kayaked in mangroves and dived into blue holes. Our final evening even saw us attend a People to People dinner – a wonderful scheme that pairs you with a like-minded Bahamian ambassador to experience local culture.

We fulfilled a life-long ambition to dive with Tiger Sharks, and we also dived with Nurse, Caribbean Reef, Lemon, Bull and Great Hammerhead Sharks. The Bahamas really is one of the top shark diving destinations in the world, where you can get up close to these majestic creatures. Due to the shark tourism that has been developed by pioneers in this field like Stuart Cove and Neal Watson, The Bahamas is now a shark sanctuary, where sharks are protected from fishing and are now bringing far more revenue to the local economy via tourism than ever they would as food.
