Ride the banana boat, para-sail, or a jet ski (or do all of
the above!) at
Superior
Watersports.
Excellent docking facilities with full service bait and tackle shops,
gas docks are available at most marinas.
Snorkeling:
Because of the excellent visibility of the waters (due to the
fact that the soil in the Bahamas is not rich, there is nothing to color
the water) snorkeling is a year round event--though in the winter the
water is too cold for my tastes (though those Canadians don't seem to
mind). If you snorkel in the winter, I would suggest a wet suit.
Soccer: Soccer
matches at the Grand
Bahama Football League
Squash: Four
courts are located at the Grand Bahama Tennis & Squash Club located
behind Freeport High School.
