News for Ocean Fox Cotton Bay - Summer 2011

"Eleuthera - it's not for everybody" as the saying goes is true but we have had quite a few clients who came to Eleuthera to dive and fish exactly for that reason. They all like the beautiful beaches with almost no one on them, love the quite life style, and are amazed at the clarity of the water. The diving has been spectacular, from the wall dives right down to the snorkel trips.

We continue to see and photograph Hawksbill turtles, southern rays, lobster, spotted moray eels, octopus, glassseye snapper, goat fish, lizard fish, Indigo Hamlet , sand falls (a form of underwater waterfall, but its sand cascading down in the water), Caribbean Anemones; along with some incredible coral specimens, and of course the ever present reef sharks.

Fishing has been slow from a demand point, but catching good yellow fin and black fin tuna along with some nice Wahoo.

Had to button everything down for Tropical Storm Emily, which, fortunately for the islands, turned into a day or two of decent winds and some much needed rain. All the boats are "fueled" up and ready to go, along with some new scuba pro regulators. All of our diving equipment is Scuba Pro and we have plenty of it, along with 48 scuba tanks, just in case we get a run on diving.

Thanks to everyone who has gone diving and fishing with Ocean Fox Cotton Bay! We are now on facebook and posting diving updates regularly. We also have had some very nice write-ups on Trip Advisor; thanks to those who took the time to write about us. Al is now a divemaster, working on instructor, so when he is on island, there will be two DM's on the dives, and hopefully we'll get some good photographs of your dive for you to take home.

If you are coming this way and need some help with where to stay, how to get around, where to eat and so forth, please contact us. Enjoy the rest of summer,
