San Salvador Bahamas?

[leyendahp]

Hello,

Planning a trip to San Salvador this December. I have read so many great things about the diving there. We will be staying at the Club Med. Just wondering about transporting my gear and what if any weight or baggage limits there may be or problems anyone may have ran into while getting to the island.

Has anyone been there during December and if so what should I expect as far as the diving and what critters I may see this time of year?

Has anyone dove with Club Med and RRI and can give me a comparison?

How about currency? Do they use the American Dollar?

If taking my own gear is a problem, has anyone dove with the gear provided by the dive shops? If so how would you rate it?


Thanks!

Well, the Bahamian dollar is tied to the American dollar. The currency is interchangeable on the island... locals prefer american over the commonwealth's coin.
