Bahamas shore dive with coral heads, sand, and a swim-through.
Lunkhead is a Bahamas shore dive built around a cluster of high-profile coral heads in white sand. The largest head has a small swim-through, and the rest of the site is a slow search through crevices, sand flats, and short coral ridges. It suits beginner divers who like easy route reading and plenty of close-up looking. Expect clear water and a mix of nudibranchs, flounder, stingrays, and other small bottom life.
