PRICING DETAILS PENDING
**** Current CDC guidelines for the Bahamas ****
San Salvador Island, previously Watling’s Island, is an island and district of the Bahamas, famed for being the probable location of Christopher Columbus’s first landing of the Americas on 12 October 1492 during his first voyage. Watling’s Island was named for George or John Watling, an Englishman who settled it in the 17th century. The name was used officially from the 1680s until 1926. It is still used unofficially in discussions of the actual location of Columbus’s first landfall.
Most of San Salvador Island is surrounded by fringing reefs. In many areas, such as Fernandez Bay, the shore is rocky and populated by reef urchins (Echinometra viridis). Moving away from shore, the bottom slopes gradually and may have several patch reefs surrounded by a sandy bottom. These patch reefs are home to hundreds of fish, invertebrates, and algae. The depth continues to increase to about 25 meters (82 ft) at the farthest edge of the shelf, which can be 400 to 1,500 meters (1,300 to 4,900 ft) from shore.
