To help you find the parts of the Bahamas diving scene that suit your aquatic desires best, we've put together this guide to nine of the most exceptional islands for diving. Whether you're looking for pulse-pounding shark action, bottomless blue holes, effortless drift diving or irresistible wrecks, it's simply a matter of choosing an island and naming your adventure.
