Made up of over 700 islanded surrounded by 130-miles of stunning live coral (the third largest living thing on the planet), this island paradise features amazing scuba diving. The coral reef reaches from 3-feet below the water's surface to 35-feet below the surface, making it accessible to every diver's skill level. With classes available in numerous places around the islands, certification is easy.
Places You've Never Dreamed Of
Families just don't seem to get out together like they used to years ago. This results in gaining a few pounds, losing your motivation, and finding you don't have the energy to do more than what you have to do every day. A Bahamas scuba diving vacation can help change these problems. The weather is ideal and the sun is always shining on the gorgeous beaches. It's not too hot, but not too cold, so an underwater adventure is incredible. You'll see darting schools of tropical fish, lumbering sea turtles, and even playful dolphins while diving the reef.
Make sure you bring an underwater camera. Inexpensive disposable underwater cameras work great. Stock up because you'll definitely use them to capture pictures of the amazing things you'll see underwater. Snap a photograph of crabs and lobsters scuttling across the ocean floor and be ready because many divers have even taken pictures of humpback and great blue whales passing through the deeper water of the reef.
Scuba Diving Beats Roller Coasters
Combing the beach for starfish and conch, sleeping in a beachside hammock, and dancing to live Calypso music will have you entertained day and night. You'll regain your muscle tone, work on your tan, and renew your enthusiasm for life as you board a dive charter to head for a half day, full day, or nighttime scuba adventure.
You'll find plenty to do, even when you're not in the water with unique shopping, fine seafood dining, museums, and more. For more underwater fun, take in a dolphin or sea lion encounter, a shipwreck dive, or grab the family for an underwater bubble sub experience. You ride a bubble sub like an underwater motorcycle as you drive through the water behind a half-bubble.
Reunite Your Family
If you can't remember the last time your family sat down to dinner with exciting things to talk about, a Bahamas scuba diving adventure could change that. Instead of talking about boring schedules, homework, discipline, and chores, your dinner conversations will be full of descriptions of sea turtles, dolphins, and corals, questions about undersea life, and stories about diving to shipwrecks in search of sunken treasure. Your family will be so animated, you may have a hard time getting a word in yourself.
