A MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER OF TOURISM The islands of The Bahamas offer an array of dive experiences like no other destination in the world. There are sunken Spanish galleons, inland blue holes, caves and forest-like coral reefs, teeming with marine life. We offer 25 different dive destinations in our country. Some of the most exciting experiences allow enthusiasts to swim and feed reef sharks, an experience offered nowhere in the world except The Bahamas. More importantly, the people of The Bahamas are as committed to the art of hospitality as they are committed to preserving the unique ecology of our island home. The Ministry of Tourism is, therefore, delighted that Bahamas Diver will share the underwater wonders surrounding our islands with a large audience of new and experienced divers.
