🇧🇸 The Bahamas

The Bahamas is a Caribbean scuba destination with clear, warm ocean water and lots of reef and wall diving around its islands. Most diving is saltwater (Atlantic side and channels connected to the Gulf of Mexico), with conditions typically suited to open-water and advanced training: generally good visibility, shallow to medium depths, and current that can vary by site and season. Popular bases include Freeport (Grand Bahama), Great Guana Cay, and Dunmore Town on Harbour Island, where divers can reach nearby reefs by short boat rides. If you’re planning a trip, expect a mix of coral habitats, sand slopes, and occasional wreck/rock features depending on the area; the best experience often comes from diving multiple islands and timeframes rather than relying on a single harbor.
