Comments [2 months ago we were in St Lucia diving with Sandals also. The diving in Nassau is quite similar. It is great for beginners. It is well organized but it becomes boring after ½ dozen dives: same sharks, same wrecks, same profile. The sharks are at every dive expecting to be fed with lion fish. Making shark dive would be a waste of money, they are everywhere.
The marine life is better than Maui or St Lucia: rays, large groupers, turtles…. The coral seems worse than the 2 other places to us. It cannot be a function of the water temperature as it is colder in Nassau than the 2 other places. Pollution? Diseases?
Price is a bargain if you dive with Sandals.

UW Photo Comments It is probably better to rely on the dive master to take pictures. This is what they focus on and a second source of income for them. [None]
