25 min - Jan 26, 2008
The large Nekton boats have a unique shape, and several of their itineraries conveniently depart out of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The Nekton Rorqual's Cay Sal Bank itinerary in the Bahamas features the large blue holes, and also some smaller ones that you can swim all the way around in a single dive, like nature's own swimming pools in the ocean. Anat Grant and Rachel McPherson spent a fun filled week diving and enjoying the sunshine on a boat that is well known for its stability and comfort. See the dramatic geological formations of the blue holes, the prolific schools of fish found here, some pretty exciting night dives, and the grey reef sharks that frequent the Big Hole. Rachel also provides explanations about some of the Caribbean creatures encountered here, and reveals the secret connection between parrotfish and sand. The DVD purchase of this title contains Truk Lagoon, Bonaire, Cay Sal Bank and Wakatobi ScubaCore Dive Portraits.

Freeport is a city and free trade zone on the island of Grand Bahama, located approximately 100 mi (160 km) east-northeast of Fort Lauderdale, South Florida and gives its name to a district of the Bahamas. Freeport proper has 26,910 people.
THE city of Freeport has grown to be the second most populated city in The Bahamas (26,910 in 2000) after the capital, Nassau.
The Grand Bahama Port Authority (GBPA) operates the free trade zone, under the Hawksbill Creek Agreement signed in August of 1955 whereby the Bahamian Government agreed that businesses in the Freeport area will pay no taxes before 2054. The area of the land grants has been increased to 138,000 acres (558 km˛).
Freeport Harbour is accessible by even the largest vessels, and has a cruise terminal, a container port, and both a private yacht and ship maintenance facility. Grand Bahama International Airport (IATA airport code: FPO, ICAO airport code: MYGF) handles nearly 50,000 flights each year.
Tourism complements trade as a revenue earner in Freeport, with over a million visitors each year. Much of the tourist industry is displaced to the seaside suburb of Lucaya, owing its name (but little else) to the pre-Columbian Lucayan inhabitants of the island. The city is often promoted as 'Freeport / Lucaya'. WIKIPEDIA
