San Salvador’s diving sites are unlike any other in The Bahamas. This small, serene island is renowned for its spectacular reef and wall diving, as well as one of the best shark dives in The Bahamas. With 50+ diving sites, San Salvador is often considered a diver’s paradise.
Just like the offshore, the in-land is packed with spectacular attractions. Beaches are secluded by definition and natural parks protect rich and varied animal life – including Rock Iguanas and countless bird species.
Interestingly, this is also one of the few islands where Christopher Columbus once anchored. Stepping here – is anything but ordinary.
