The Bahamas has always been a popular holiday destination not only due to the breathtaking beauty of its clear blue waters and powder white beaches but also because of the fun loving and enthusiastic inhabitants and lately because of the amazing adventure based thrill experiences on offer that centre around the wonderful marine life on offer in the seas off the islands.

The Bahamas consist of 700 or so small islands converged together and the waters surrounding these islands are warm and luxuriating making any dive adventure a pleasure. Additionally certain seas are infamous for specific types of marine life.

One such popular marine life form is the shark. This marine predator, despite its ferocious nature and inclination to attack still attracts humans. Many certified PADI institutions and divers offer ready made or tailor made packages for visitors to be able to swim with the sharks.

Participants have the option of diving inside a cage specifically made with shark dives and ardent marine photographers in mind or diving in a small controlled group that gets you up close and personal with the shark.

Chum bait is used to attract a school of shark. Naturally as with all extreme adventure thrills, precautions of the highest degree must be taken into account as well as careful instruction and direction from the dive master.

However as long as you participate in a shark dive with a certified institution or school and experienced divers who have been engaged in shark diving, there is no need for any worry. Instead you can be assured of an experience of a lifetime and memories and photographs to re live the moment time and time again.

The type of package and type of dive you choose is solely dependant on your level of experience, the thrill and risk you are willing to take and your ability to dive. For those who are novices in diving yet still wish to dive with the sharks, a hookah style breathing implement is available.

More specifically if you are looking for Turks and Caicos Luxury Resorts then an accommodation option such as the Parrot Cay Turks & Caicos would be ideal.
