Small Hope guests have spectacular day at Brad's Mountain dive site
Press Release 2012
Andros Bahamas (Febriary 5, 2012) - There is so much fun happening at Small Hope we just have to tell everyone about it!
We have? been celebrating the holidays in true?Small Hope style, with huge feasts including an abundance of desserts, tons of family and friends, bonfires, fireworks, diving, fishing, and some well-earned relaxing.
Diving around Small Hope
We recently took a big group of divers to one our favorite spots - Brad's Mountain. While just about every trip to Brad's Mountain is great this one was hands-down SPECTACULAR! The dive itself was full of life, as always, with schools of Atlantic spadefish, parrot fish, trumpet fish, large groupers at cleaning stations, queen angel fish and more but then a few Caribbean reef sharks showed up and said hi. After that, two hawksbills turtles were spotted. All in all a wonderful dive was enjoyed by all. And to top it off, a pod of dolphins came to greet the dive boat for the return journey even jumping out of the water to get a better look.
Small Hope Mascots
Scuba and Sassy loved their first Small Hope Bay holiday season. We had a full house so they were absolutely showered with attention and love. They are still riding the golf carts at all possible moments but they also find time to wrestle each other, playing the sea, and chase little crabs in the sand. One of their favorite toys - fallen coconuts - tasty and fun!
Recent Sitings
At the Barge, one of our wreck dives, a very nice sized Loggerhead turtle was cruising around. At the Haul Down Tower, a mid-level dive site we spotted two HUGE green moray eels as well as at least four spotted eels and loads of garden eels. At the same site there were also two juvenile spotted drum fish and around the Small Hope.
Bird Watching
As for our feathered friends, we have seen the osprey swooping around again, and were also surprised to see a worm-eating warbler fly inside and flutter around our Glass Room. One of our guests gently showed him that it would probably be better to fly outdoors rather than indoors.
