In later years, the explorers were followed by adventurers of a different sort. Pirates, corsairs, brigands, ne r-do-wells and privateers all drawn by the promise of easy pickings and quick riches flocked to the Bahamas in the thousands. Men such as the notorious Edward Teach (Blackbeard), Calico Jack Rakham, Henry Morgan, Major Bonnet, and nefarious women buccaneers such as Anne Bonney (Calico Jack s mistress), and Mary Reed scoured the seas in search of vulnerable pinch pond campground merchant ships carrying gold, silver and jewels. Only slightly better were the so-called pinch pond campground privateers, such as Francis Drake and John Hawkins, who pillaged and plundered in the name of whatever sovereign happened to be on the throne at the time.

The dive sites listed throughout this book are, for the most part, remote and difficult to get to without a qualified guide. The locations of most listed sites in the Out Islands are not marked in any way on maps or in the ocean and are the closely guarded secrets of the local dive operators who make their living taking divers out on guided tours. If you want to see a particular site, ask your operator. If there are enough people interested in the site to make a full boat, it will cost no more than the regular half-day or full-day tour. If not, you ll have to rent the boat and guide on your own, which can be expensive.
