Diving in The Exumas
The Exumas consist of an array of more than 350 small islands and cays streaming down from just 35 miles south of New Providence to the anchor islands of Great and Little Exuma to the south. The northern islands present wonderful dive opportunities with an intriguing combination of walls and rich shallow reefs. The northern islands are the realm of live boards, and two New Providence operators, Stuart Cove’s and Custom Aquatics, offer trips here as well. Two professional operations are on Great Exuma, Peace & Plenty and Exuma Dive Center, offering trips to shallow reefs as well as some perfectly defined Bahamas blue holes.
