Scuba

What It Feels Like

Green Turtle Cay is the clearest verified scuba base in the approved area, with Brendal's advertising guided shallow reefs, coral formations, wreck outings and instruction. Dive Guana markets dives and PADI courses from Great Guana Cay. The Bahamas tourism guide highlights Catacombs near Green Turtle Cay, while BNT documents marine parks that visitors can only reach by boat. These are provider and destination offerings, not independently confirmed departures for any given date. Marsh Harbour's Dive Abaco currently states it is closed.

Operator Checklist

Reserve through the operator at the cay where you will actually sleep or arrive. Check current business operations, minimum group, course prerequisites, tank and weight availability, gear sizing, weather cancellation terms, park fees and whether return ferries align. Bring C-card, medical details and logged dive history; plan at least 24 hours between final dive and flying as conservatively recommended in the Bahamas tourism dive FAQ. Dive Abaco's own website says CURRENTLY CLOSED at research time, and should not be used as an active Marsh Harbour booking recommendation.
