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.

Scuba Diving
A simple reef-and-sand scuba dive with one swim-through and lots of small nooks to inspect at a relaxed pace.
Freediving
The shallow, clear profile can work for calm-day freediving, but the swim-through is still a scuba-first feature.
