Central Abaco

Central Abaco is an administrative region in the Bahamas centered on the island of Abaco. It features tropical, clear Atlantic waters with straightforward access from inland settlements and air connections. Diving here is coastal and shallow-friendly, with reef habitats, sandy flats, and visibility commonly good in calm conditions. Expect habitats home to juvenile reef fish, coral colonies, and seagrass beds; deeper offshore sites are reachable by boat from multiple harbors around Marsh Harbour and other coastal towns. This region serves as a practical base for local dives and day trips to nearby reefs, wrecks, and islands within the Abaco chain.
