The
Resort Dive - Learn to Dive !
|
 Learn
how to dive in a day! Have you ever wondered about the underwater world? Now
discover it. All you need to do is have a lesson in the swimming pool with the
dive instructor who will go through the basic scuba skills with you until you
feel comfortable. This usually takes about 1 - 1 ½hours. |
| |
Afterwards go out on the 1:30 pm dive boat for your one tank dive to a spectacular
reef or wreck. You will always be accompanied by the dive instructor.
We encourage you to go out on more dives and as the Resort Course is good for
two weeks you can continue to come out diving with us without having to do the
pool work again. We encourage this by offering a great discounted special rate
for “Repeat Resorts”. If you get the real
“dive bug”then try to take scuba a step further with the
PADI Open Water Certification ( The resort course will go towards this) The
Resort Course is for the 10 year olds and upwards.
If you have any non-divers with you and would
like to see you dive they too can join you on the boat and snorkel. They too
can join you on the boat as a passenger or go snorkeling . |

CURRENT CUT (20 - 60FT):
|
| |
| |
The famous high speed drift dive lies in the channel between Current Island
and the main island of Eleuthera. During tidal exchanges the channel produces
currents from 7 to9 knots. On this exhilarating dive you'll often be propelled
through the water passing other visitors to the area,such as sharks, eagle rays,
large schools of jacks. |
| |
Divers can have the opportunity of completing
this roller coaster ride 3 times. |
| |
 |
 |
Current Cut |
Includes:
Tanks, weights, 3 passes on the cut and an anchored dive. |
$145 |
- Run on request only
- We need 6 divers to run the trip |
| |
|
THE
PLATEAU (35 - 95 FT):
|
 This
spectacular reef system was featured in National Geographic Magazine. The area
is home to three distinct dive sites known as: Fish Bowl, The Canyons and The
Maze.It is certainly one of the most impressive reefs in the Bahamas. The topography
at The Canyon consists of large coral fingers, rising up 55 feet from the seabed.
Spot large schools of horse-eye jacks, snapper, grunts, and the occasional Nurse
or Caribbean Reef Shark. The Maze,evident from it’s name has interconnecting
ledges and tunnels which are populated by angelfish, butterfly fish, damsel
fish and … more. Fish Bowl (a photographers treat) is just what the name
sounds like, hordes of tropical fish, wrasses, fairy basslets, gobies,…
look out for eagle rays too. |
 |
 |
THE
ARCH (65 -115FT):
|
Located at the south end of Harbour Island The Arch is a huge coral arch formation
with various cleaning station and surge channels. The bottom reaches 115 ft
but most of the dive is between 65 - 85 ft. Sea fans frame the arch. The reef
area here exhibits a classic high-profile spur and groove formation attracting
good pelagic and fish life - be prepared to see anything here from morays,lobster,
eagle rays and sharks. |
 |
 |
 |
THE
GROTTO (45-85FT):
|
One of the favorite sites for those intrepid enough to plunge into the darkness
of a crevice, and be among the huge school of silver-sides. Although light filters
through the nearby tunnel, taking a flash light is certainly a good way of spotting
lobster or crabs. A very rewarding dive. |
 |
 |
BLOW
HOLE ( 15-55 FT):
|
Situated by the cliffs of Northern Eleuthera near to the Glass Window Bridge.
The dive site is a scattered plain of numerous boulders dislodged over the years
from the cliffs above. Tumbled together they form meandering tunnels,and swim
throughs. It’s always exciting to find out who is lurking at the other
end! A cave existing under the cliffs, provides a great way to look out and
view this unusual topography and watch the spectacular scene of waves smashing
against the cliffs. Great site for photography. |
 |
WALL
95 (95FT):
|
For the more advanced divers this location is certainly one of Harbour Island’s
greatest dive secrets. The wall, part of the continental shelf starts at 95
ft. It is virtually unexplored and so the coral reef is in pristine condition.
Be prepared to see large pelagics, sail fish,hammerheads … |
 |
 |
SEA
GARDENS ( 15-35 FT):
|
A popular shallow dive, consisting of a horseshoe shape coral reef. Perfect
elkhorn corals dominate the area.Fish abound with Peacock Flounders, Southern
Stingrays and yellow stingrays , together with damselfish, butterfly fish, angelfish
and the occasional curious turtles. Great lighting for photographers. Also a
good snorkel site. |
 |
 |
PINK
HOUSE REEF (5 - 20FT):
|
This is also one of the most popular snorkeling reefs off Harbour Island. It
has plenty of life to keep the macro photographers busy from cup corals with
banded coral shrimp, anemones, brittle stars. This site offers shelter to large
and small fish, so explore the holes in the reef and you never know what you
may find. |
 |
 |
DEVIL’S
BACKBONE WRECKS (8-35FT):
|
It is easy to see how this area of barrier reef earned it’s name as it
is home to many ship wrecks, not to mention the Eleutherian Adventurer’s
ship which wrecked in 1649. Some of the sites we visit are The Cienfuegos,a
292 ft American steamship operated as a passenger liner which ran aground on
the Devil’s Backbone in 1895.What remains now of The Cienfuegos is her
bow, steam engine's boilers, the latter making a great swim through for both
divers and free divers. The Carnarvon a 186 ft Welsh freighter met her end in
1916 and is just 100 yards from The Cienfuegos.The Potato & Onion Wreck
was an 86 ft coastal freighter which rammed into the Devil’s Backbone
in 1969 ending up nearly on top of The Cienfuegos. |
As the structure of the Devil’s Backbone is very consistent, these wrecks
share a similar topography. Reef structures are interesting from corals with
undercuts and angular, jagged edges. Marine life is in abundance and are likely
to find lobsters, moray eels, together with the usual cast of tropical fish. |
 |
 |
 |
Due to the shallow nature of these sites, snorkelers enjoy this area also. |
