Point your mobile browser to the new mobile device web page debuted by the Bahamas Diving Association - which allows visitors to download multimedia dive files to their mobile phone or PDA. But, be warned, the page is formatted specifically for mobile browsers - so don't expect much of it if you go there now. :)
The page features incredibly clear and amazing dive videos for Andros, Exuma, Harbour Island and Long Island - all located in the Out Islands of the Bahamas.
The Out Islands are known as a scuba diver's paradise. It's hard to compete with water so clear, wildlife so abundant and fantastic dive sites like Blue Holes, pristine reefs, "bottomless" wall drop offs and an assortment of wrecks and other attractions.
These new videos give you a "taste" of what you can find. Check 'em out.

Bahamas Diving Association debuts Mobile Phone/PDA web site
2007 National Family Island Regatta – Exuma, April 24-29
Since 1954 George Town, Exuma has played host to this Bahamas tradition. Each year during April, Elizabeth Harbour is transformed by the presence of locally-built traditional Bahamian racing sloops that come from islands all over the Bahamas. The competition is fierce and the atmosphere is alive with excitement as boating enthusiasts the world over descend on this picturesque island in the sun. The boats are beautiful with a huge sail area and hiking boards for the crew to scramble on to balance the boat against the force of the wind in her sail. It is a festive time with fun, food and other activities taking place in and around the hotels, restaurants, and bars in the area – with camaraderie beyond belief!
Visiting Exuma at this time is the highlight of any trip. Everyone is swept up in the pageantry, excitement and energy of the events of the week.
