Bahamas
Scuba Diving & Snorkeling

The world's fourth largest barrier reef system runs almost 100 miles from Walker's Cay (the "top" of The Abacos) to about 20 miles south of Elbow Cay. As a matter of fact, about 5% of the world's coral reefs are located in the Bahamas. Immediately to the west of the reef system, The Abacos' exquisite string of offshore cays extends about 85 miles from Walker's to just off Little Harbour.

The Abacos' Sandy Cay, Fowl Cay and Pelican Cay National Park underwater preserves are protected by the Bahamian government and offer some of the finest and most colorful shallow water diving in the entire Caribbean area. The Abacos' extensive reef system and hundreds of under- or undiscovered offshore cays combine to create one of the world's safest, most exciting and most rewarding boating, diving and snorkeling areas. Of the 3,000 coral islands and reefs that make up the Bahamas, only about 20 are inhabited.

New Providence Island/Paradise Island: The waters that ring densely populated New Providence Island and nearby Paradise Island are easy to explore. Most people head for the Rose Island Reefs, the Gambier Deep Reef, Booby Rock Channel, the Goulding Reef Cays, and some easily seen, well-known underwater wrecks that lie in shallow water. Virtually every resort hotel on the island offers equipment and can book you onto a snorkel cruise to sites further offshore.
