russianmom Posted April 30, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 30, 2012 We have to change our Feb cruise next year and need to leave out of NY for personal reasons. My husband dove a few weeks ago in Nassau and said it was nice (nothing like Belize, Roatan). Since April-June will mean Bahamas again or Bermuda which would have more varied sea life ??? Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDilly Posted May 23, 2012 #3 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Hello..... Anyone???:confused: I can't speak for either but I dove off Jaimaca in Ocho Rios and there was a pretty cool shipwreck there which was awesome for me. -KD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey42 Posted June 2, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Since April-June will mean Bahamas again or Bermuda which would have more varied sea life ??? Thanks:) I love Bermuda diving because of numerous shallow wrecks. Lots of bottom time in clear water. If wrecks are of interest, you can't beat Bermuda.

Capt_BJ Posted June 17, 2012 #6 Share Posted June 17, 2012 A technical reply to OP's original question: Bahamas again or Bermuda which would have more varied sea life ??? Given that Bermuda fits inside 21 square miles and is usually described as one island altho there are actually many - it is very small as compared to the Bahamas which comprises over 2000 islands and 'cays' over 100,000 square miles. It is probably fare to guess that the Bahamas would host a larger variety of sea life. Many when they hear Bahamas, especially cruisers, think Nassau and maybe Freeport; but there are MANY more dive locations. I been to Nassau and Freeport for diving, several times each; and also Green Turtle Cay, Cay Sal Bank, Abaco, Bimini - there's a ton out there. But maybe that's a down side for you .. ALL the Berduma sites are inside that 21 miles! I note that Frommers top 10 dive sites in Bermuda has wrecks at 1 thru 7 ... http://www.frommers.com/destinations/bermuda/0091020112.html To me - they both offer good diving ... but different. What's your pleasure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
