Scuba Diving with Lemon sharks.
The Bahamas is home to an impressive population of Lemon sharks, which are known to average between 6 to 8.5 feet in length. These sharks are often observed in groups of up to 20 at a time in popular shark diving sites. Interestingly, most of the Lemon sharks spotted are females, with only occasional male sightings. According to some researchers, some of the Tiger Beach populations in the Bahamas also travel to Florida. Although Lemon sharks are not migratory sharks like Tigers and Hammerheads, there are times when they are less visible, suggesting that they do travel. Lemon sharks are usually found in small groups and are not solitary. These sharks are known for their boldness and lack of fear towards humans. They swim very close to scuba divers and are often visible on the surface.
Caribbean Reef sharks.
The Bahamas is a popular spot for shark diving, where you can often come across Caribbean Reef sharks that are typically 3 to 5 feet long. These sharks are known to be inquisitive and quite abundant during shark diving expeditions at Tiger Beach. The vibrant coral and sponges, along with the crevices and ledges of the reef, provide excellent opportunities for capturing stunning photos of these swift and curious creatures.
Bull Sharks
Nurse Sharks.
Most diverse shark diving in the world!
The season for encountering Tiger Sharks and Great Hammerhead sharks usually runs from October through May. During this period, water temperatures around the area generally average around 76F (24C), with occasional highs up to 80F (26.5C) and lows as low as 72F (22C). On land, temperatures can range from highs of 82F (28C) to occasional lows of 60F (15C). The coolest months are typically January, February, and March. To stay comfortable during these dives, most divers wear 5mm full suits, hoods, and gloves. It is highly recommended to use hoods and gloves, not only for warmth and protection but also due to the darker “less attractive” colors of the creatures in the area..
