Kevin,
Can't tell you about New Providence Island in particular but I was prepared to
find nothing on Grand Bahama Island a couple of years ago. That's another
major tourist island.
I found a very nice Strombus raninus (crabbed) in 5 feet water and a live and
gorgeous Chicoreus florifer both a few hundred feet away from a large resort.
Maybe you'll get lucky like me.
