Byron Conroy travelled to the Bahamas with one aim in mind – to get some high-quality shark photographs. In this conclusion of a two-part feature, we continue to follow his 14-day adventure on the Bahamas Master liveaboard.
Blue Hole
The next day we arrived at the Blue Hole in the Andros area. We had to make our way from the South of the Bahamas to the North, so the Blue Hole was a great way to make a halfway stop for a couple of dives.
The hole itself is around 300m deep and is basically a collapsed sink hole, so it is circular in shape and has limestone walls all round, with a hole in the middle. The dives themselves were conducted around the edge of the hole, eeffectively diving a coral reef wall that is almost bottomless.
Along the wall edges we spotted turtles and nice corals it was great to dive a reef after several days in Cat Island of blue water diving and the wrecks of the Nassau area.
Bimini
After two dives we began the 18-hour trip from Andros to Bimini. During the overnight cruise we had the most-incredible flat calm ocean conditions and I was able to spend much of the night sitting in the sundeck and the bow looking at the mirrorflat ocean – we had a full moon and the light was reflected in the ocean along with the most-amazing array of stars.
