LONG ISLAND DIVE OPERATORS See Map to see the location of dive operators, both on the northern part of Long Island Stella Maris Resort Stella Maris Resort offers a variety of Long Island Bahamas diving sites. Here are a few highlights. Conception Island provides the wild pristine sites that dive legends are made of. Vertical walls, in perfect condition, begin as shallow at 45' and plunge to inky blue depths. Underwater visibility ranges between 150-200'. The population of health fish, sponge and soft/hard coral life is tremendous. 9-mile South Hampton Reef, with depths of 10-100', has snagged some 200 wrecks over the past two centuries! Conception Island compares favorably with any Caribbean dive “hot spot”! The island, uninhabited and part of a Bahamian Nature Park System, is simply beautiful, with great bird-watching, too. Flocks of beautiful white-tailed tropicbirds often circle the dive boat. For more info, go HERE Cape Santa Maria Resort Bahamas scuba diving is an experience to behold.
