Shark watching in the Bahamas

One of the few places in the world, where sharks are not being hunted to eradication, the Bahamas is a fantastic place to head to see wild sharks. There are thought to be quite a few sharks that live in the area year-round, but there are also many more which visits.

Tiger sharks, Caribbean reef shark, Great hammerhead shark, Bull shark, Lemon shark, Nurse shark, Oceanic white-tip shark and Silky sharks are all considered to be resident, however over 40 species have been spotted suggesting many other species visit at different times of the year. This includes several great white sharks which are tagged and have been tracked within these waters in the last few months.
