Author: Agnes Milowka
Published in 'Underwater Speleology' Volume 36 Number 2, July/August/September 2009
As we flew over Abaco I asked the pilot ‘So what does everyone think of when they think of the Bahamas?’ ‘Sex on the beach’ he said without any hesitation... I can only assume he meant the cocktail. Either way it all sounded rather promising. /.../
