 With
miles of pure white sand and crystal clear waters, our village of
Columbus Isle offers an unrivalled haven for scuba diving. Very
little has changed here in over 500 years since Columbus first set
foot on the powder-white shores of the "New World." There are still
few visitors, no bank, no traffic, and one tiny town. On this
untouched jewel of an island, stroll the soft sand of deserted
beaches; their translucent waters will dazzle your eyes. The only
crowds you'll encounter are underwater - turtles, dolphins,
hammerhead sharks, rays and more - swimming in the virgin coral
reefs.
When you come up for air after experiencing the world's greatest
dive program, the view is just as inspiring. Columbus Isle's exotic
collection of international treasures are sprinkled here, there and
everywhere, ensconced in brightly painted Bahamian bungalows trimmed
in white gingerbread. You'll enjoy one of your finest vacations ever
at this gorgeous Finest Village.
