Dive Exuma

Long Island often gets overlooked for its flashy neighbours, but for a certain kind of diver, that's exactly the appeal. We're talking about Dive Exuma, not a single site, but a whole philosophy of exploring the lesser-known fringes. Forget the big pelagics for a moment. This is about the macro. We love spending an entire dive just combing through the turtle grass and sandy patches here. You'll spot more weird and wonderful bottom dwellers than you ever thought possible. Think Sand Stargazers peeking out with only their eyes, Pallid Snake Eels weaving through the sand, and a dozen species of gobies – the tiny, brilliant Orangeside and Goldspot Goby are our favourite. The real trick here is to go slow, like, glacial slow. Bring a good magnifying glass for your camera, if that's your thing. It’s perfect for divers who find joy in the miniature, for those who’d rather spend 45 minutes with a Speckled Worm Eel than five seconds with a passing reef shark. It's a true treasure hunt.
