Favorite Dive Destination – Bahamas

Favorite Dive Destination – Bahamas

Living in south Florida affords me many opportunities to dive all over the Bahamas.  Most of the islands have great diving but I like the less traveled “out islands”.  A few years ago I went to Long Island (not in NY) and checked something off my bucket list….I dived Dean’s Blue Hole which is the deepest blue hole in the world at 600+ feet.  There were free divers training for the annual free diving competition and it was incredibly cool watching them while I was hanging on scuba at 125 feet…..and they were way below me!  There is not much to see…maybe a shark or 2 but, it was great being somewhere a lot of divers do not go.  The diving on the rest of this island is pretty good and I always dive with the dive shop at the Cape Santa Maria resort.

Other Bahamian favorites:  Bimini….in my back yard and with incredible diving.  Water is clear & turquoise as it is with most of the Bahamian islands.  The Exumas….just beautiful as are the Abacos with the playful spinner dolphins.
