Diving at Cotton Bay, Eleuthera, The Bahamas

What a month! We have been busy with divers all month, and have been fortunate enough to see Atlantic Spotted Dolphin on one dive, and had them providing aerial displays alongside the dive boat as we have traveled between sites! We have seen a lot of Spotted Eagle Rays this month, and more turtles. All in all it is getting busy along this stretch of the wall!

Oh, and yes, we did have the incredible good fortune to spend a little time with a whale shark! We were called over to see it as it swam alongside the Grand Princess as she was at anchor off Princess Cays. For some reason the shark took an interest in our dive boat, and came across to visit. To the delight of the divers, the shark raised its head alongside our boat, allowing them all to touch its snout! Lael Zeleny, the Lead Dive Instructor from the Grand Princess was on-board with us, and managed to get two clear shots of the shark with his underwater camera. The third photo is courtesy of a crew member from the Bridge of the Grand Princess. Click on the photos below to enlarge them.

Also this month, we were granted PADI Dive Resort status. Ocean Fox Cotton Bay is PADI Store # S-21224.
