Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
BNT publishes concrete protected-park visitor prices, and Grand Bahama Scuba publishes operator-specific dive pricing. Neither establishes a universal Grand Bahama marine-park dive tag or legal permission for Tiger Beach shark interactions. No independently current island-wide tourism entry levy or blanket recreational reef permit was verified for an ordinary visitor. Dive-shop taxes and any charter surcharges should be itemized at inquiry; specialist activity legality and park entry require site-specific confirmation.
