Little Bahama Banks- A place of renewal.

My latest trip to Little Bahama Banks marked my 34th journey to this magical part of the planet. For me it always is a time of renewal. To once again swim with wild dolphins and to have close encounters with some individual dolphin that I have known for,many years and to renew the bond. To dive and swim in waters so warm and clear that it is almost like being in air,

The "Banks" is also the lushest marine enviornment to be found in all the Caribbean. From pristine reefs loaded with fish and turtles to numerous close encounters with the top predators, the sharks.

This latest journey provided it all and was made more enjoyable by spending it with a number of close friends. Thanks again Anna, Jimmy , Mike and Steve. This is my most special dive location in all the world. i hope I can return another 34 times.

I will be putting up a portfolio of images shortly from this trip. In the meantime you can do an "Image Search " on keywords Bahamas, dolphin, sharks, turtles.Thanks to friend and fellow photographer Kelly Bracken for providing the special image above.
