Discover an amazing nation that spans over 100,000 square miles and over 700 islands.

Diving

Some of the best diving in the world takes place here, including the famous Tuna Alley. There are plenty of wrecks in the Bahamas to explore, including shallow water wrecks that even snorkelers can visit. The famous Sapona is in just fifteen feet of water! There are numerous dive boats on every island where resorts are located, so finding a dive trip is easy.

Fishing

Fishing in the Bahamas Islands is pure heaven. With miles of flats waters for back country fishing, and ocean dropoffs just miles from shore, and the amazing coral reef the borders the islands, you can choose from any type of salt water fishing and enjoy the best conditions in the world. The proximity of the Gulf Stream brings in large sportfish like sailfish, tuna and marlin. The reef harbors grouper, snapper and other sought-after fish that anglers love to target. The extensive back country is home to tarpon, permit, bonefish and other shallow water specials. Choose your venue, or do it all but any way you go, it'll be some of the best fishing you've ever experienced!

Beaches
