This return to the Bahamas produced much interesting diving. Although we were staying at Cable Beach, the diving was all done from the Stuart Cove's facility on the south west side of the island.
Carib Breeze. This is a very recently sunk wreck (in the last few years) that is more or less completely intact. We managed to do a supervised tour of a considerable part of the inside of this wreck, going through quite a few rooms.
Bahama Mama. This is always a good reason to come to the Bahamas. I managed three dives here and saw numerous sharks every time.
The following pictures were taken with a disposable waterproof camera, hence the quality is not all that great, but actually better than I expected. These cameras are often rated to depths of about 12 metres. In practice I've found you can usually take them deeper than that with some risk that they break. Mine didn't fortunately.
The following shark was seen on on one of several dives to the Bahama Mama site.
Yellow tail snappers were as abundant as ever!
We managed two dives to the James Bond wrecks. There is the well preserved wreck of the Tears of Allah, which was used in the film Never Say Never Again. There is also the remains of the Vulcan airplane prop created for the film Thunderball. It is now mainly a metal frame with gorgonian corals growing extensively.
I managed to get one of the other divers to take this picture of me. This is next to the Thunderball frame.
