The Abaco Islands lie between the Sea of Abaco and the Atlantic Ocean, and the diving here is built around reef, cavern, and cave formations shaped by tidal currents. The sites in Fin's database include Fowl Cay Preserve, with walls and caverns reaching thirty metres, and shallower cavern dives such as Coral Caverns and The Tunnels, where natural light filters through openings in the rock. Visibility at some sites reaches exceptional lengths, particularly at Coral Caverns. Nurse sharks, green sea turtles, lined seahorses, and whale sharks appear in the species list. Water temperatures are coolest in winter, typically in the low-to-mid twenties Celsius, and warmest in mid-to-late summer.
