Dubbed the Sleeping Beauty of The Bahamas because of its unspoiled natural riches, here divers explore the Underwater Museum of the Bahamas, the wreck of the 101-gun man of war HMS Conqueror, built in 1855, which lies in 30 feet of water off Rum Cay. Its location on the continental shelf provides more than ample opportunity for coral exploration. There’s also the largest man made marina in the Caribbean, which is situated on the southern coast of the island.For more information, please visit The Government of The Bahamas, The Government of The Bahamas Department of Statistics
