Hurricane Rita Misses The Bahamas: All Operations Up and
Running at 100%


FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - September 20, 2005 (INB) -- Thankfully,
Hurricane Rita skirted the southern Bahamas, and actually was
a tropical storm as it passed just below the island of Andros.


According to Neal Watson, President of the Bahamas Diving
Association, "All our dive operators are up and running at
100%. Thankfully, it was just a minor storm when it passed
here." Mr. Watson continues "The Islands of The Bahamas has
been fortunate this year, as all the major systems have
passed by, or were just tropical storms as they entered the
country. The months of September and October are actually
some of the best diving months; water is very warm (as high
as 88f), usually winds are calm, often creating pool-like
diving conditions."


More storm updates and current information can be found on
the official website for the Bahamas Diving Association:

The Bahamas Diving Association is the official association of
dive operators for the country, comprised of 35 resorts, dive
operators and dive liveabaords within the Islands of The
Bahamas.
