Known for feeding tiger sharks and presenting some of the best photo ops with these beautiful creatures, Tiger Beach is a draw for any diver looking for adventure. Best to use a knowledgeable guide, this area consistently produces encounters with sharks but don’t be surprised if 10+ sharks show up. You’ll want a knowledgeable guide to make sure you have a fun, safe encounter. In addition to shark encounters, Grand Bahama Island offers crystal clear water with plentiful coral gardens thriving with sea-life to enjoy!
