Long Island Questions

[DropkickMurphy]

One of my professors is retiring next year and heading to the Bahamas to do research full time. He has invited me to come down (effectively whenever I want), but I have a couple of questions regarding where he is going to be at in relation to diving. Is there a dive shop on Long Island? Where are the best dive sites around it, especially for marine life (both vertebrate and invertebrate)?

There is decent diving at Long Island. Far better, IMO, is at Conception Island, an uninhabited sand spit (and Marine Park) a couple hours' run from LI. Dramatic walls and a strange absence of the greenish-brown algae that seems to be everywhere else in the Bahamas. You can also run to San Salvador from Long.
