Marine life around Abacos
The marine life encountered during dives varies depending on whether you are exploring oceanic caves or interior blue holes. In the more open environments, you will find various sponges, lobsters, crabs, and shrimp.
Macro life is a staple of the local underwater ecosystems, with divers frequently spotting different species of shrimp and crabs amongst the reef and cave structures.
Diving conditions
The centre offers flexibility in how you access different dive sites. While many dives are conducted via boat, they also organise van excursions for 'bush diving' to reach remote interior locations.
Exploration can be extended to other islands in the archipelago, including Andros, Eleuthera, Long Island, Great Exuma, and Grand Bahama, through organised excursions.
