Dive sites in Bahamas

Set within the pine forests of Lucayan National Park on Grand Bahama, this cavern and cave entrance offers access to the expansive Lucayan cavern system. Divers descend a wooden staircase into a sunken limestone collapse pool. Below the surface, a clear freshwater layer gives way to a dense halocline, beneath which salt water fills massive subterranean chambers adorned with ancient stalactites, stalagmites, and biconical limestone columns formed during prehistoric ice ages when sea levels sat far lower.

Located off the West End of Grand Bahama on the edge of the Little Bahama Bank, Tiger Beach is world-renowned for close, controlled encounters with large apex predators over shallow white sand flats. Divers typically kneel on the sandy seabed while divemasters manage bait crates, drawing inquisitive tiger sharks, resident lemon sharks, and reef sharks into close proximity. The exceptionally clear, shallow conditions offer photographers extended bottom times and natural sunlight for wide-angle imagery.
