January will see increased activity around our island as water temperatures settle in around 75 degrees. After the busy Christmas and Junkanoo celebrations, it’s time to think about some diving and snorkeling to wear off a wee bit of that extra turkey and cabbage rolls you may have indulged in. Plans to travel to Harbour Island could include a dive to see some shipwrecks or perhaps some big animals like sharks, turtles or dolphin. Valentines Dive Center is launching exploratory dives to follow up on the success this past season of interacting with great hammerheads and silky sharks, as well as bottlenose dolphin. Experienced divers may want to join one of these exciting new adventures in 2014.
The free-diving/snorkeling around North Eleuthera is packed with aquatic life with turtles, octopus, squid, and grouper among the creatures to spot, along with schools of reef fish.
As usual, the pink sand beach at Harbour Island awaits all visitors as it stretches three miles from north to south and invites you for a cool dip. All day long fresh drinks and tasty meals are available from the many fine restaurants. All price ranges can be satisfied.
So pack up and come join us on Harbour Island for some fun in the sun or as we at the Valentines Dive Center say….”Where the sky meets the ocean.”
