Abaco Bahamas
« on: June 21, 2009, 09:50:48 PM »
 :D I just got back from a week of diving in the bahamas, What a great trip. Did alot of reef dives where the depth ranged from 90' to only 5'. Saw a lot of beautiful sea life and a few sharks. Cavern diving the reefs was a blast, the way the light plays through the reef into the darkness of the cavern is awesome. Got to dive a blue hole that was inland went down 135', breaking my deep dive record by 30 feet. The halocline at about 60' was too cool to explain and the size of the room was awesome. Also did some cave diving in Dan's caves. I saw rooms that were huge and filled with so many natural formations that if the area was dry one would not be able to walk. If anyone is planning to goto the Bahamas let me strongly suggest going to Abaco. Call Tim at Abaco Dive Adventures. He is the greatest dive guide/charter captian I have ever met. The number is. (954) 681-4382  Or goto www.abacodivers.com

I have always wanted to see a halocline, doubt I'll ever be lucky enough to have that experience.   Glad you had a great trip, sounds like you had fun :)

I dove the Cenotes near Cancun last year and dove through several haloclines. It's a weird feeling. We've looked at the Bahamas several time but they are so vast, we didn't know where the best place to go was. Where did you stay in Abaco?

The number and web site I posted will take you to the charter captian. He has a place that you can rent by the night. I'm going to cosumel in july, hoping to get into some cenotes.
