back to staniel cay, bahamas

The one thing the girls and I did not do the last time we were in Staniel Cay was snorkel at Thunderball Grotto. We knew we were coming back here and knew the conditions would be better this time around, so we saved it for this trip.

This underwater cave was filmed in the James Bond movie Thunderball in 1965. To get in you have to swim under the rocks.

Braden and I came here back in 2012, but I forgot how cool it was until I was in there again.

Olivia still gets a little nervous when she first gets in the cold water. She jumped in and promptly got back out. After she realized she was fine she got back in and disappeared into the cave. We went through once and before we could get back to the dinghy she asked if we could go in a second time.

Our plan is to continue heading north through the Bahamas, so we won't be back to Staniel Cay for a long time. We made sure to stop by one last time to feed the swimming pigs.

We also had one final lunch at Staniel Cay Yacht Club.

Before we left Emma wanted to say one final farewell to the nurse sharks.
