This tiny, 63 square mile island on the eastern most reaches of the Bahamas, maintains a lookout on the Atlantic Ocean. But as insignificant as it may look on the map, San Salvador looms large in the history books. It is widely believed that Columbus' first footsteps in the New World were on this island. With a population of less than 500, much of the island is still largely unexplored.

Air service to San Salvador is via Nassau to Cockburn Town.

Accommodations on San Salvador are small and sparse, except for Club Med which offers all inclusive dive packages.

Private taxis are available but if you are staying at Club Med, transportations will be provided.

The water around San Salvador provides up to 200' visibility year round, among the best you will ever experience. Wrecks, reefs, sea mounts, and deep grottos are the standard for dive sites.
