Hi Jennifer,

Eleuthera is great for murex and conch and xenophora. If Bobbi Cordi has a
minute (and not in total post-show exhaustion) she can give you the serious
scoop. The shelling on Exuma isn't too shabby, lots of helmets and tritons
and tellins galore.

If you are into anything other than hardcore shelling, Exuma is much prettier
than Eleuthera. Killer beaches, Stocking Island knocks the pink sand beach on
Harbour Island all flat, no matter what the guidebooks tell you. The
snorkeling is best in the Exumas. The diving is lovely, but mellow. If you
want thrilling diving, go to Stella Maris on Long Island. Have them take you
to Conception Island, the wall is awesome.
