Cindy Hill and Betty Juan shark diving in the Bahamas

In Nassau, Betty Juan and Cindy Hill stay at the One and Only Ocean Club. By day, they explore underwater in personal sub units and look at shipwrecks with Diver's Propulsion Vehicles--handheld underwater scooters. They also take part in a shark feeding.

• Bahamian English is a mixture of "Queen's Diction," African influences and Island coinages.
  
• Water taxis operate daily between Nassau and Paradise Island. Metered taxis are available and may also be hired by the hour. Cars and motor scooters are available for rental.
  
• The Bahamian dollar is on par with the U.S. dollar. U.S. currency is readily accepted throughout the Bahamas.
