Bahamas Reading Assignments

[...back to Pre-trip Agends]

General Andros

1) "An Exploration of Andros, Bahama"

This long (55 min) video is from 2012 and a little bit slow moving, but interesting. I did not watch it in one sitting. It talks about many cultural aspects of the Androsian people and it is a good way to get use to the Bahamian dialect.

Blue Holes

1) Church's Blue Hole (we will visit this location) - short 2 min video

2) One of National Geographic's 2011 Explorer of the Year, Kenny Broad talks about scuba diving in blue holes. 15 min video

General Science

1) Sea Urchin (Josie's Research - you don't have to read thru all of this material)
