Freeport, Grand Bahama, Bahamas
Sea Hunt Reef is a UNEXSO-operated patch reef off Freeport, Grand Bahama, named for the early scuba television series 'Sea Hunt' that was filmed in part in the Bahamas. The site sits in 14 to 18 meters of water and consists of a series of coral heads rising from a sandy plain, decorated with brain corals, gorgonians, sea fans, and barrel sponges. The reef supports a classic Bahamian assemblage of yellowtail snapper, French and queen angelfish, blue tang, stoplight parrotfish, scrawled filefish, and the occasional Nassau grouper. Southern stingrays cruise the sand patches between heads, and Caribbean reef sharks occasionally patrol the surrounding waters. The shallow profile and easy navigation make this an excellent training and refresher dive, with calm conditions and consistently strong visibility year-round. UNEXSO, founded in 1965, is one of the longest-operating dive centers in the Caribbean, and the Sea Hunt Reef is one of the historic sites in their roster, bridging the early days of recreational scuba and the modern tourism economy. The dive is often paired on the day-boat with a deeper wreck or wall site to provide a balanced two-tank itinerary.
