The weather can't be beat, and the water is crystal-clear. Hawaii's third-largest island is home to some of the world's best diving, offering something for every type of diver.
With 700 islands, 2,500 tiny cays, and 100,000 square miles of ocean containing it all, the Bahamas collectively comprise a massive scuba and snorkel paradise.
Historically, sharks left the area when scuba divers entered the water. The bubbles from the regulators scare them off.
One of the great joys of my diving career has been cruising the islands of the Bahamas on live-aboard dive boats.
