Coral Reef Experience
Snorkeling has become an important aspect of ecotourism promotion in the Bahamas. There are hundreds of reefs and wrecks throughout the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. West End alone has more than 6 popular spots including the infamous Boat Wreck situated in 6 feet of water and The Historic 16th Century Sugar Wreck Galleon Ship located 24 miles from West End.
The "Coral Reef Experience Tour" features five amazing snorkel reefs - Settlement Point West and Settlement Point South, Nirvana I @ Indian Cay, Nirvana II @ Wood Cay and Bootle Bay that provide additional opportunities to observe a variety of fish. Underwater photography opportunities can provide some incredible images of wildlife.

This idyllic spot is a broken boat wreck approximately 70 feet in length. Huge Loggerhead sea turtles, sleeping Nurse Sharks, Lionfish and maybe you can spot the 6 foot Moray Eel that resides inside the weck.
