Dive, Snorkel: Paradise Cove
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you have time make the drive to Paradise cove. It was beautiful. The snorkeling was very clear and we saw lots of fish and barracudda. The food was cheap and they have gear and stuff to rent also. You don't want to miss this snorkel experience!

    Dive, Snorkel: Atlantis Submarine ride
  • Tip Rating:
  • This was pretty neat. The Atlantis Submarine takes you to an abyss and is a great opportunity to see sea life without getting wet.;-) Great for young kids.

  • Tip Rating:
  • If you're a diver, check out Stuart Cove's South Ocean. I've been diving with them about 6 times now and they're always fun and professional. The shark dive is clearly one of the world's ten best dives.
    Warm clear water. Carribean reef sharks.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Snorkelling! This was our first snorkelling experience. We didn't take any photos of this because we were so focused on just breathing. We are excited to do it again because we know that the second time can only be better. It was relatively inexpensive and we saw the beautiful coral reef and lots of beautiful fish. Be sure to hang out near the tour guides. They generally know a lot about the fish and the reef.

    Dive, Snorkel: You just cannot go to the...
  • Tip Rating:
  • You just cannot go to the Bahamas and not do some snorkeling. It is exquisite. My favorite is the Spiny Lobster. They are so big and so beautiful. I found that snorkeling is quite safe over all as well. The only thing that scared me once was a 5 ft baracuda, especially when it circled me. (It's not the one in the photo! That's a little guy.) However, I soon learned that they are relatively harmless. They are inquisitive and territorial. They will circle you and come up close to you because they want to get a better look. You are in their territory after all. They look as if they're saying 'Who dares come here where I am king?' Just don't wear any shiny jewelry when snorkeling and you'll be less apt to attract them.

  • Tip Rating:
  • The diving in the Bahamas is quite nice - the water is quite warm and there is definitely an opportunity to see some exotic sea life. The coral was also particularly abundant in the Bahamas. We dove between Paradise Island and Nassau. We weren't lucky enough to spot any dolphins this trip, but we were told that our dive company took Leonardo DiCaprio diving the day before!

    Anyhow, although I would recommend taking a dive in the Bahamas, it wasn't one of my favorite dive destinations.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Well... the two days that it didn't rain we swam with the dolphins and did an under sea walk (snubaing).
    The dolphin thing was fun, especially for small children but everyone enjoys it. The under sea walk was awful! The water was two degrees and we were lead around on a little pole as the guide pointed to dead coral.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Go snorkeling....we had a local man take us out on his old sailboat to a reef. It was much cheaper and the reef was all ours. If you go on the large boats you end up with 25 or more people trying to all snorkel together...if your at a resort ask the workers if they have a friend who will take you out to a reef.... and dont forget to bring the bagels. The fish will come right up to you and eat out of your hand.
