Bahamas Ocean Safaris ….. where the adventure begins and memories are made!

There is a saying that when when you love what you do, it is not work. I love what I do! This love, turned into a passion, turned in a career, turned into Bahamas Ocean Safaris.
It is the dream of one man, me: James Dunnam.

The many years, 30+ that I have spent as a lobster fishermen and deep sea diver increased my love affair with all things under the sea, in and around the water of my home, as well as the passion for my beautiful island home, Spanish Wells along with it’s history. It has made me the man I am today! A fisherman, a conservationist, a tour guide, photographer, cook and I am quite sure there are several more ‘hats’ that I wear, all of which I am very proud of!

The Bahamas, while it has 700+ island, not all are inhabited one, Spanish Wells, while very small is inhabited, and I for one am very proud to call it home! While small in size, this fishing village today remains today as one of the Bahamas premier fishing villages and can boast of some the finest fishermen in the Bahamas. Not bragging, it is fact!

The various and abundant array of marine life along with it’s reefs, corals, and surrounding cays, beautiful clear waters have been an attraction for many over the years.

Now I have a chance to share this attraction! My many years of experience in and around the waters of Spanish Wells gives me a unique perspective as I try to offer all a unique experience to those that charter with me. Over the years I have seen many changes, some made by man, some by mother nature. These changes have made me all the more passionate and appreciative about the beauty I get to see everyday.  It has increased my desire to share that passion and beauty with others and fortunately for me with each charter, I am to to be able to do so.

While I am an avid fishermen, I am also a conservationist. I try all all time to adhere to the laws and regulation made by the Bahamas when it comes for various types of marine life, seasons and size. I strive at all time to protect this fragile eco-system I love and enjoy. In addition with each charter I make sure all the debris is picked up, garbage removed and disposed of properly. If you are seeking to fish or spearfish certain types of  marine life crawfish (Bahamian Spiny Lobster) or grouper please be aware of the seasons.
