    Knowledge is current and has no age. It's only of any use if employed or shared. I'm stuck on the other side of the Atlantic currently. So employing it's out......for me anyway... I'm 40 and have very much enjoyed the last seven years gainfully and legally in work in the Bahamas. It is a...

    Well, not to put too finer point on it, you are going to be there in Spring Break (or there abouts) and Alcohol: 4:20 and better....and worse are all part of the colourful tourist menu in a generally relaxed and easy going place. If not interested, maintain calm, eye contact and, of course, your...

    Yeah, that area is a little lively. If you do go for an evening walk, I'd head East toward town. The Hilton is just north of Bain Town, a cultural continuation in the Pirate history enjoyed by much of the Caribbean.

    Just a couple of other ideas. There is invariably "booze cruse" trips from the harbor that accommodate snorkeling. And drinking....Lots of drinking....so maybe not your thing.....LOTZ of drinking! Out with the lads? Sure.... Personally If i was there with the good lady i'd have a look at Island...

    Cruise: Hitting up Nassau and Grand Bahama and want to do some diving

    Hey Rick/Steve. That's West. Near Clifton Pier (Jaws Beach on Google maps...ish). Sadly, only really at night. (for octopus....EVERY night!) I'm between contracts and stuck on the other side of the Atlantic right now. (But not for long! :-) ) Personally I'd look at Coves... Do PM for further...

    Suggestion for long weekend diving in Bahamas

    Steve, i'm pretty sure Coco Plum Resort is the old Land Shark Divers : Hotel Info renamed and renovated. At least the photos show the structure identical. It always was excellent lodgings for (hardier, less needy) divers, just never well advertised. Certainly i''ve seen signs for Berthas whilst...

    work permit for the caribbean ?

    Sweet! Well good luck! If you ever head this way (New Providence, Bahamas), i think the largest employers for expats would be Stuart Coves or perhaps the liveaboards (Black Beards/Aqua Cat etc) Hope it works out for you.

    work permit for the caribbean ?

    Similar here in the Bahamas Az. It's fairly tightly policed too. We had an Immigration raid on my job site just a month ago. They took away four people who were without papers. Naturally, my best workers. What industry are you in? There is a "circuit" for dive instructors that kinda runs...

    Planning 1st trip to Bahamas

    Bhubb, You might have a look at this RumCay | Bahamas Resort though it doesn't look ideal for your requirements. Frankly though, you seem to be describing Turks Caicos, Providenciales. Are you dead set on Bahamas? TCI used to be one after all. Just a though. (Stylish Mike. Very Stylish.)

    Eleuthera Rental Equipment?

    Diving and Fishing - Ocean Fox Cotton Bay in The Bahamas Sorry, not Browns. These guy's. They did have a shop way south near Waterford too. But, as i say, my info's dated at best. (Looks like you already found them tho.) Hope you have fun. I think the Rock sound address is possibly the PO Box...

    Eleuthera Rental Equipment?

    Forgive me Steve, and i may be wrong. Valentines to the north and I think it was Browns to the south (I think valentines may also be in cotton bay, just south of rock sound, wasn't very credible last i was there unfortunately). Rock sound has nothing. But this was a year ago..... (and for...

    Diving on the North & Northeast of Nassau / Paradise Island

    Mmmm....it was working earlier today. Now it's not. Were having a nightmare with cell phones/island wide two way radios etc at the moment (last two days). I wonder if the net's affected as well. In the mean time i'll get Sean's (explorer's boss/owner's) number and pm you with it. I've never...

    Seeking new diving experience in the Bahamas

    I'd have a look at riding rock, San Salvador. It's the best i've yet seen here abouts. Failing that, if money is less of a concern. Stella Maris is rated VERY highly. Also, if you like larger animals(Tigers/Lemons). Stuart Coves has opened up on Grand Bahama. But then...If you like sharks...you...

    Grand Bahama Dive Op recommendation?

    Actually, they're technically neither(Or both?). The main op is on the island of New Providence to the south west. Nassau, the city is to the North East. I'm given to believe, although i've not been there, Stuart has opened up at the Old Bahama bay resort to the western end of Grand Bahama. The...

    Exuma Sound in Jan: Suit needed?

    +1 Rob. Have fun in San Sal. It's spectacular, keep your eyes peeled for the Hammers! Last time i was there they came across a pod of pilot whales too. If you go dry though, 50, bring spares. I sincerely doubt you find much of use to you in the islands. Also, you might see if Aqua cat'll do the...

    Need advice regarding my west end bahamas trip.

    Stuart did manage to get something going. Stuart Cove's Tiger Beach Seafaris Located at Old Bahama Bay Resort, West End, Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas. Tiger beach shark diving. I'm not certain they've yet got the customer base to consider themselves well established. So trips are a bit hit and...

    Stuart Cove 2 tank dive or shark dive? also snorkle

    The shark dive is two dives too. The first is a dive over the wall, with the sharks around and about you. The second is at the same location, sat on the shallow floor (Maybe 45-50'), positioned in a circle for the feed. (There are deviations from this. But so rare as to be very unlikely) I'm...

    Stuart Cove gear assistance

    I was down with Coves this afternoon and am reminded that it's normally quieter in the PM. For this reason they often consolidate onto one boat. (About 15 guests today with four instructors, one the photographer, and TWO captains) So a busy boat, but with plenty of assistance. This also leads to...
