There are several places in Nassau Harbour where people anchor. I did not want to do that even before Bob's heart attack. First there is a tremendous current in the harbor - the water just races through there. That means that the bottom is scoured out and the holding isn't very good. Plus the tide changes the direction of the current 4 times a day, which gives additional possibilities for the anchors to break loose. And there is also a lot of traffic, which means a lot of boat wakes. But lots of people do anchor and seem to be perfectly happy doing so. If you are checking in with customs and immigration, you will have to go in to a dock.
Good ground tackle A good dinghy and a way to secure the motor to it so it can't be stolen. We prefer to have the dinghy on davits because if it is in the water it will drag and slow us down. But that way, it takes longer to get going, as you have to lower it first. Leave a Comment Theme: Boating/Sailing

No matter where you stay, you will be offered excursions such as scuba diving right in the lobby of your hotel. They will recommend dive expeditions, or you can go out on one of the others that they don't recommend. The difference here, is that the ones you will have recommended to you, are very simple, easy dives, with guides used to dealing with tourists, multiple safety checks etc. They are geared for the novice or infrequent diver. If you go out on your own, what you basically get is a ride out to the reef and someone who goes down with you. It depends on your abilities and confidence.
Taking an independent excursion is fast paced and is really geared towards the seasoned diver. With twelve divers you go out fast, you come back fast. Safety checks go quickly and there is little fuss before going under. These are not for beginners, there isn't a lot of handholding involved.
