Summer is well under way.......

The summer is half over now and that means closing time for Small Hope, and that means it is time to spruce the place up ready for another season!!

Dive intern Kate has finished her Rescue Diver Course, so a big CONGRATULATIONS to her!!

It is unfortunate that dive master Antonio is leaving us at the beginning of August, we wish him all the best in the future.

With Antonio leaving us we were in need of some new dive staff, so let us introduce you to Erin from Chico, California and Federico from Buenos Aires Argentina they have joined the Small Hope team.

Scuba and Sassy are growing bigger everyday and a big thank you to Kelly and Mason Weaver for the puppies care package!


A big thank you to all our Summer Interns, Petter, Simen, Ben, Rodney, Luke and Davis, it has been fun working with you all!

It was a great treat the other day for dive master Joe, while diving out near the old compressor frame at the dock two dolphins swam by!!

Warm Wishes from the Snow Family

The Snow family came to Small Hope Bay Lodge looking to spend quality time together as a family. Isabelle, age 11 and her Dad, Ben, took the discovery scuba diving course and enjoyed diving some of our 40 foot dives! Oliver, age 9, and Mom, Alison, enjoyed snorkeling around the dock and on the beaches of Small Hope.
The Family also took a trip to the inland blue hole where they enjoyed an entire afternoon jumping off the dock and swimming in the giant fresh water blue hole. It took a little encouragement to get Isabelle to jump off, but after her first jump, anyone 20 miles around could hear her yell "That was Awesome!". Isabelle set the new Small Hope record for most jumps off the Blue Hole dock, when jumping 46 cannonballs in a row!
Watch a video of the Snow's and other guests time at the Blue Hole here.
Before leaving, Isabelle and Oliver made thank you cards about the fun they had here at Small Hope Bay Lodge.
“Dear Small Hope Staff,
Thank you for being the best resort staff that I’ve ever had. In a few days you guys made me and my family feel like family. You taught me how to dive, to never-ever do a belly flop again and the song “Buttercup Baby”. It was fun to learn your personalities. From acting to diving, to jumping off a platform into deep water really well.
When I grow up I want to work in Small Hope as a summer job. Thank you for giving me the stay of my life.
From Isabelle, August 7- 12th 2009”
“To all staff,
Thank you for a wounderful stay it was very fun.
From Oliver” Pin It Now!

Beachy Keen!

It was a crisp, clear day today at Small Hope Bay on Andros Island. Just a slight breeze, a couple of puffy white clouds and stretches of aqua Bahamian water. Who wouldn't want to be here?

The divers headed out to Giant Staircase and saw a couple of Caribbean Reef Sharks, including our resident shark, Finn, who is easily identifiable by his missing dorsal fin. Then the divers recharged at lunch with some of Irene's delicious minestrone soup and headed out to Klein's Place this afternoon.

Just another perfect day at Small Hope Bay! Pin It Now!
