Grand Bahama shark dive with close reef-shark encounters.
Grand Bahama shark dive with close reef-shark encounters.
Shark Junction is normally run as an operator-led boat dive from the Freeport side.
Shark Junction is Grand Bahama's signature shark dive: a boat-accessed sandy site where Caribbean reef sharks circle close to divers, with groupers, jacks, and rays adding to the show. It suits certified divers who want a reliable shark encounter rather than a complex reef route.
