Bahamas Explorer Great Exuma, Long Island, Conception Island, San Salvador The Donkey Divers flew into Great Exuma in the eastern Bahamas. We lived on the Explorer ventures vessel all week and dove around Great Exuma, Long Island, Conception Island and San Salvador. It was a great trip. Since we were in the Bahamas we saw a lot of sharks. Click on the logo below to see more about the Explorer Ventures.

Lion fish. These guys are supposed to be in the south Pacific. They just started showing up here in the Bahamas a couple of years ago. They are pretty but the way they are spreading they could be all over the Caribbean in a few years and we may end up wanting to kill them rather take pictures since they have no natural predators in the Caribbean. | ||
