The Islands of the Bahamas are home to experiences for divers like no others found in the world, from long-lost Spanish galleons resting on the sandy bottom to inland blue caverns, and from underwater caves to coral reefs that look like underwater forests teeming with marine life. If that isn’t enough to get your adrenaline pumping, you can try diving with and feeding reef sharks. There is something to please everyone in and around the Islands of the Bahamas.

Crystal clear water gives unmatched visibility when diving to let the blues and lush colors of the coral reefs amaze you when you’re snorkeling with the family. Free diving and snorkeling are once again becoming one of the most sought-after simple joys of visiting the Grand Bahamas. With an average year-round temperature of 80ºF, the crystal blue waters of the Bahamas are perfect for diving during any time of the year. The Islands are also open for a variety of other water adventures, such as wave-running, kayaking, kite-boarding, and island boat tours.
