Scuba Diving Tour

Scuba diving in Exuma, Bahamas, offers a spectacular underwater experience in one of the most pristine marine environments in the Caribbean. The Exumas, a chain of islands located southeast of Nassau, are known for their crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and abundant marine life. Divers can explore a variety of dive sites, ranging from shallow coral gardens to deep walls and mysterious underwater caves. Popular dive spots like the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, an underwater sanctuary, are home to an array of tropical fish, sea turtles, rays, and even nurse sharks, making it an ideal destination for both novice and experienced divers. The vibrant coral ecosystems and the visibility often exceeding 100 feet offer unparalleled conditions for underwater photography and exploration.

Beyond the rich marine biodiversity, Exuma is also famous for its unique dive sites, such as the Thunderball Grotto, made famous by the James Bond film “Thunderball”. This submerged cave system, accessible by boat, is surrounded by crystal-clear waters and filled with schools of fish. Another must-see site is the Blue Hole, a deep, mysterious sinkhole in the ocean floor, surrounded by dramatic underwater cliffs and home to an impressive range of marine life. With warm waters year-round and a variety of dive experiences to suit all levels, Exuma provides an unforgettable scuba diving adventure, blending natural beauty with rich aquatic life and a sense of discovery beneath the surface.

We offer a choice of dive sites to suit divers of every level. Local sites include reefs, The Tug wreck and Angelfish blue hole.

We recommend that divers have their own diving and travel insurance. Treatment for diving injuries can be expensive and island-based dive accidents/injuries would require medical evacuation.
