Some scuba diving destinations are legendary. Others are known for one thing or another: spectacular reefs, wrecks, whales, sharks, walls or cenotes. The Caribbean’s best scuba diving destinations have it all.

Excerpt from The Lost Children of Atlantis:
‘Could these be the ramblings of a nutcase or could this seemingly far-fetched story about “lost children” actually be true?
‘Mira Cullen, an attractive young doctor and psychic, meets old, sick, occasionally delusional Stefanie Brussels. Stefanie claims to know otherwise unheard-of facts as related to the shocking catastrophe of long ago where so many had perished, but no one in their right mind believes her. She also mentions an artifact in her possession that holds “special powers”. Will Mira take anything she says seriously and if she doesn't, what is bound to be the outcome?’
Enjoy!
Best wishes,
Fay Knowles,
Nassau, Bahamas

#BahamasBlogger Worth Watching!
By ianthia
It’s been forever since I put my blog’s spotlight on someone I wanted to introduce y’all to. But I recently connected with a girl boss, a wife, a mother, an entrepreneur and now blogger whose go-getter spirit I admire and respect!
I love a hustler!
I love people who go after the things they want to do and be without hesitation and without fear. I love people who aren’t afraid to tap into arenas and careers that are the total opposite of everything they’ve ever done!
In today’s world of sliding in the DMs, Shekia Danielle is proof that the DM you send and/or receive could either be used to start a conversation on a business and career opportunity or mindless conversation.
She chose the former. Read more >>

Bahamas Promoted at US Travel Shows from Coast to Coast
The Bahamas represented at Travel Shows from California in the West
to Boston on the U.S. East Coast
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - February 28, 2018 - As winter weather continue to plague many cities across the U.S., The Bahamas' elite team of marketing professionals have been harnessing the opportunities provided by travel trade shows throughout America for consumer facing events, to share about The Bahamas as the ideal vacation spot to thousands of show attendees.
The Islands Of The Bahamas (TIOTB) have been represented at all of the Travel and Adventure Shows to date and additionally have represented the 700 Islands of The Bahamas at Vacation Express Trade Shows and even signature travel shows such as the Boston Globe Travel Show and the Mann's Travel and Cruise Show out of Charlotte, North Carolina.
CEO of Travel & Adventure Shows, Mr. John Golicz, has said of the 2018 travel show season that "with consumer confidence reaching a 17-year high, wages moving higher and tax cut dollars hitting paychecks, Americans are traveling more and traveling longer." The trade show executive said too about those exhibiting at his series of Trade Shows across the U.S., that those exhibiting "have greeted the throngs of affluent, active travelers and helped them plan their dream vacations."
The Bahamas' marketing team has been able to proudly provide that already the tropical destination is seeing the fruit of its marketing efforts direct to the consumer. At the Boston Globe show, Bahamas Specialist Travel Agents were added to the booth and according to Bahamas Ministry of Tourism (BMOT) marketing executive, Vandia Sands, "the addition of these agents to our booth was fruitful in that they were able to book a number of consumers on the spot for travel to The Bahamas."

Garbrielle Archer, Area Manager, BMOT Atlanta, provided that as a result of the success of the Mann's Travel &Cruise Show, the agency had advised that agents were busy following up on all the leads generated and "are excited about turning interest in The Bahamas into bookings."
Area Manager, BMOT Houston, Prescott Young said of the shows that he and his team attended that, "This year shows were attended by a record number of attendees in search of the ideal destination to visit." He said that in fact, " attendees were well in excess of 10,000 persons at all of the shows."

Young whose Houston based office is responsible for the Southwest, Midwest and Northwest, most recent shows have included Travel & Adventure Shows in Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles. He said of the large attendance at the Chicago show that the severity of the weather, "appeared to contribute to the desire to travel to a warm weather destination, of which The Bahamas is ideal."
The travel shows also drew members of the media especially in Los Angeles. Mr. Young was interviewed at the T and A Show in Los Angeles by Wendy Alexander of KTLA 5 to be aired on her Travel Wine and Dine show. Also interviewed in Los Angeles was the District Manager, Houston, Dupree Smith, who spoke with Bill Boyce of Destination Baja Sur on eco-tourism experiences available in The Bahamas.

On T&A's Global Beats Stage in both San Francisco and Los Angeles, Bahamian recording artists Julien Believe and Angelique Sabrina, delivered outstanding performances to the delight of those in attendance.

Agreement with Bethune-Cookman University paves way for BTVI students
Bethune-Cookman University (B-CU) and the Bahamas Technical and Vocational Institute (BTVI) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), paving the way for BTVI students who wish to earn Bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) disciplines.
B-CU continues to expand its global footprint in The Bahamas. In July 2017, the university was accredited by the National Accreditation and Equivalency Council of the Bahamas (NAECOB) to offer online courses, degree programs and have a physical location.
The MOU with BTVI was signed on the Bethune-Cookman University campus in Daytona Beach, Florida. B-CU is one of three private, historically black colleges in Florida.
BTVI’s President, Dr. Robert W, Robertson, noted that the agreement widens the options for BTVI’s students seeking to smoothly matriculate into the institution.
“The agreement provides BTVI students with scholarship options at Bethune Cookman, notably in STEM. We are excited to be able to work with a high quality institution such as B-CU. Some of the key areas being considered for collaboration between the two schools include Computer Technology, Environmental Management, Health Services and Business,” said Dr. Robertson.
BTVI’s President, Dr. Robert Robertson and B-CU’s Senior Advisor to the President for Institutional Effectiveness and Compliance, Dr. Narendra Patel, exchange institutional gifts.
Also present were some members of the university’s faculty and administrative staff, in addition to some members of the Bahamian Students Association, who presented Dr. Robertson with an honorary medallion to commemorate the event.
BTVI and Bethune-Cookman Universe have strengthened ties with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding. From left to right are B-CU’s Assistant Registrar, Shantell Culmer-Thompson; BTVI’s Dean of Student Affairs, Racquel Bethel; B-CU’s Senior Advisor to the President for Institutional Effectiveness and Compliance, Dr. Narenda Patel; BTVI’s President, Dr. Robert W. Robertson and B-CU’s, Chief Online Learning Officer, Dr. Gale Gibson Gayle.
The initiative is aligned with B-CU’s key performance indicators which address increasing global partnerships, increasing access, enrollment and revenue.
