THE DIVE SITES

1. Nassau area
Lost Blue Hole - The rim of this large blue hole lies in 30' of water surrounded by coral heads, sting rays, and many schools of fish. There is a lobster-filled crevice at 80'. They normally dive this prior to going or returning from the Exumas.

2. Exumas area
Amberjack Reef - A 45' patch reef that is the sight of our Exumas shark dive. Normally 5-10 Caribbean Reef Sharks, 1-2 Nurse Sharks, and several large Black Grouper show up to be fed. This is an action-packed dive.
Austin Smith Wreck - A 90' Bahamian Defense Force Cutter that sank in 1995 while being towed to San Salvador (to be sunk there as a dive site). Their ironic misfortune was our gain. This intact wreck lies in 60' of water.
Deadhead Wall - A yellow school bus lies here, similar to the one used by the rock group Grateful Dead. You frequently see Eagle Rays cruising along the wall.
Dog Rocks - This reef starts at 35' and slopes off to 50' before dropping straight off into the Exuma Sound. This is one of the best dives in the Bahamas. If you like to identify fish, you will marvel at the large variety of them. Black Coral is abundant here as well as Orange Elephant Ear and Tube Sponges. Many pelagics frequent this reef.
Pillar Wall - One of many excellent wall dives. It starts at 30' and slopes to 50' before dropping off the wall. There are many caves and crevices. There is a large colony of Yellowhead Jawfish in the rubble inside the reef.
Wax Cut Drift - You will fly over this 30' reef in excess of 2 knots. You will see rays, sharks, eels and numerous fish as you drift with the current in the cut between the islands. The sheer density of Staghorn, Pillar, and Finger Corals is amazing. There are several other similar drift dives we do such as Hammerhead Gulch, Highborne Cut, and Conch Cut.
Whale Shark Reef - This wall is named for the Whale Sharks that frequent this area in the winter.

3. Southwest Eleuthera area
Cave Rock - A large coral mound in 50' of water surrounded by several smaller coral heads. There are several caves where you can swim from one side to the other. The large variety of corals and fish will amaze you. We have frequently seen Hammerhead Sharks here.
Jake's Hole - A blue hole starting at 20'. It lies in the middle of a large reef.
Monolith - Large mounds of coral rise out of the sand at the edge of the wall. They start at 55' and rise to 100'. A colony of Garden eels is located in the sand next to the mounds.
