 The Bahamas officially the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, is an English-speaking country consisting of 29 islands, 661 cays, and 2387 islets (rocks). It is located in the Atlantic Ocean north of Cuba, Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti) and the Caribbean Sea, northwest of the Turks and Caicos Islands, and southeast of the United States of America (nearest to the state of Florida). Its total land area is almost 14 000 km², with an estimated population of 330000. Its capital is Nassau. Originally inhabited by Arawakan Taino people, The Bahamas were the site of Columbus' first landfall in the New World in 1492. Although the Spanish never colonised The Bahamas, they shipped the native Lucayans (as the Bahamian Taino settlers referred to themselves) to slavery in Hispaniola. The islands were mostly deserted from 1513 to 1650, when British colonists from Bermuda settled on the island of Eleuthera. The Bahamas became a crown colony in 1718 when the British clamped down on piracy. Following the American War of Independence, thousands of pro-British loyalists and enslaved Africans moved to The Bahamas and set up a plantation economy. The slave trade was abolished in the British Empire in 1807 and many Africans liberated from slave ships by the Royal Navy were settled in The Bahamas during the 19th century. Slavery itself was abolished in 1834 and the descendants of enslaved and liberated African form the bulk of The Bahamas's population today. Economic activity is mostly based ... 45891 views |

The Bahamas
A complex archipelago of low-lying islands, the Bahamas stretches 1,200km from its northwest point, close to the Florida coast.    |
With more than 700 islands and cays spread over 260,000 sq km of brilliant blue sea, there are countless land-based and liveaboard options for divers. There are shallow reefs, deep walls festooned with sponges, several world-class shark dives and wrecks from every era since Christopher Columbus first blundered ashore, at the island now called San Salvador, more than 500 years ago.
Diving has a rich history in the Bahamas, which has long been a popular tourist spot thanks to its proximity to the USA. Glimpse the past in the James Bond film Thunderball, shot off New Providence in 1964 and featuring an impressive array of local wrecks, reefs and sharks.
Overall, the diving combines the best of the Caribbean with the fish action of the Atlantic, with the added bonus of shark dives, blue holes and some of the most best rum punches this side of Havana.
Winter appeal
The Bahamas are often referred to as ‘the Isles of Perpetual June’, and while Brits may take that to mean a month of high winds and torrential rain, it’s actually a claim to have the perfect climate. With the hurricane and rainy seasons ending in late November, winter is a fine time to visit, though the water temperatures are best described as ‘fresh’ rather than warm, with temperatures between 20°C and 24°C from February to early April. Topside, you can expect plenty of sun, with air temperatures between 21°C and 28°C. Winter sees the spawning of the Nassau grouper, among other fish, and for those prepared to venture offshore, February is the ideal time to find enigmatic giants such as the great hammerhead shark.
What to pack
A 5mm wetsuit, plus the usual essential sun protection. Some hotels and bars like their customers to wear a proper shirt, so pack something relatively smart alongside the usual beach duds. A lightweight coat or jumper will take the chill off in the evenings.
Getting there
Direct flights to Nassau from the UK are available with British Airways (www.ba.com) and Virgin Airlines (www.virgin-atlantic.com ), while US airlines fly via American airports. Internal flights are either charters or via Bahamasair (www.bahamasair.com ).
