Colorful fish, as well as sharks, dolphins, Nassau grouper, stingrays, sea turtles, and other species are common sights in this region. From shallow areas ideal for snorkeling all the way up to renowned dive sites like the 6,000 foot-deep Tongue of the Ocean, it's great fun and adventure for everyone.
• Jet Boat Tours - Traditional, slow boat tours are okay, but why not take your boat ride to the most extreme level with a thrilling, unforgettable jet boat tour.
