You don't have to be an expert to enjoy Scuba diving off the coast of Eleuthera, but if you Ararat! Eleuthera's waters contain a vast underwater playground of massive coral heads, holes in the wall, shipwrecks and smuggler planes long ago crashed into the sea. Teaming with exotic life, decorated with many colored coral, and water so clear you can see more than ninety feet down, it's no wonder the professional dive charters such as Aquacat, Blackbeard's and Morningstar run week long live aboard trips 54 miles out of Nassau just to experience the over 26 underwater sites that Cape Eleuthera has only minutes from their shores. Explore their remains, their secrets, and admire the friendly hauntings of African pompanos, monster grouper, amberjacks, bull sharks, hammerheads, and many other beautiful tropically colored fish.
This one hour program introduces your child to basic safety information. They'll get to blow some bubbles in confined water with a maximum depth of 6 feet / 2 meters and see what it's all about.
Kids (8-10) 2 person minimum $100 U.S.

Green Castle Blue Hole Dive - Advanced
This specialty dive must be timed with the high tide as these 3 deep blue holes are oddly enough located not in deep water but rather the shallows of Rock Sound in only 6' of water. They are not far off shore from the Green Castle settlement historic grave yard. If that is not spooky enough, consider diving 60'-90' deep through any one of three eerie holes down what seems like a tunnel. Local free divers tell stories of monster size lobsters and groupers that have been known in the past to live hidden in the darkness. These Blue Holes are safe to explore as they do not suck or blow with the tides, but they are believed to be once tied to other Inland Blue Holes nearby like our Cape Eleuthera Gully Hole, Healing Hole and the Rock Sound Ocean Hole. Come explore with us! We can also offer a custom dive to a much further site called Jakes Blue Hole, ask for details.
