The water temperature has reached the warmest of the year. We all love to go diving with minimal thermal protection and enjoy the wonderful clear and calm water.
With the rush of the summer gone, we are now very happy to explore and reach new dive sites. Moorings are being installed where they had been inadvertently run over by summer vacationers, and divers are visiting sites which have had a chance to rest.
The Comex Wreck, La Rose Wreck and Etheridge Wreck are some of Grand Bahama’s fun dive sites that allow divers to switch between wreck and reef, while enjoying both at the same time.
The sea life among these wrecks is abundant and colorful. Resident eels are curiously looking about, octopuses are swimming on the reef, turtles are cruising along ready for their open ocean journeys, and fish are “resting” from the active summer schedule.
During September you have a wonderful chance to find nearly empty dive boats, relaxed trips and the capability to request from your dive leader a return to a previously visited site or the opportunity to explore a new one you have heard about but not listed on the official trip schedule. Laid back and relaxed is what September is all about.
Enjoy Grand Bahama Island both above and below the sea.
