Comments The sharks were great. The shark feeding dive was very exciting. I found the reef disappointing. The reef was sparse and coverted with a sandy supstance.

I liked the Xanadu diver operation. Very friendly and let you dive your own profile. A bit layed back. Hard to get them to commit to going out or not.

Grand Bahama has beautiful beaches. Other than the diving there isn't much to do there. I wouldn't recomend it as a vacation for non-divers.
