I-Grand Bahama Island ibika intshisekelo evuselelwe ekujuleni kwayo kusukela ngo-Okthoba wonyaka odlule futhi imema izivakashi ezinothando lokutshuza ukuze zizohlola izixhobo zayo ezinkulu kanye nokuphahlazeka.
U-Ian Rolle, Ibamba likaSihlalo we-Grand Bahama Island Tourism Board (GBITB), ubika ukuthi isiqhingi nezixhobo zaso zahamba kahle phakathi neSiphepho iDorian. “Emasontweni amathathu ngemva kwesiphepho, izisebenzi ze-UNEXSO, izazi zethu ezihamba phambili zangaphansi kwamanzi, zahamba zihlola izixhobo ezisogwini oluseningizimu yesiqhingi, kusukela eGrand Lucayan Water Way kuze kuyofika eSilver Point Reef. Ngaleso sikhathi, kwatholakala ukuthi zonke izakhiwo zamadwala zazimi futhi izinhlekelele zazisendaweni efanayo nangaphambi kwesiphepho,” kuphawula uRolle.
Emasontweni ayisithupha ngemva kwesiphepho, ukubonakala kwathola ukucaca kwakho okujwayelekile ngesilinganiso esingu-80ft kuzo zonke izingosi zokutshuza. Lapho ukubonakala sekufinyelele ezingeni elijwayelekile, ukuhlolwa kwesibili kwaqedwa ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi akukho monakalo owenziwe yizinsalela ezinyakaziswa yisiphepho.
Izixhobo zatholakala ukuthi zicacile futhi ziyachuma. Amakhorali athambile naqinile ayesanamathiselwe ezindaweni zawo zangempela futhi awekho amakhanda ayeke yagingqika noma ephukile. Isihlabathi sase sizinzile yonke indawo, futhi impilo isiphinde yaqala njengokujwayelekile. Izikole zezinhlanzi manje zizulazula ezindaweni ezahlukene kanye nokuphahlazeka kwe-Sini's kanye ne-Sea Star. Iziza ze-Plate Reef, i-Little Hale's Lair, i-Gail's Grotto, i-Caves, i-Moray Manor I kanye ne-II azizange zibonise imiphumela evela kulesi siphepho. Lokhu kuyiqiniso futhi kumasayithi aphakathi nendawo we-Picasso's Gallery, Papa Doc, Shark Junction kanye neChamber.
I-snorkeling kanye ne-scuba diving emanzini angashoni kuqalile futhi futhi izihambeli ziyaqhubeka nokujabulela amanzi ahlanzekile futhi zimangaza impilo enempilo yezixhobo. Oshaka kanye nezilwane zasolwandle ezijwayelekile abaqhubi abajwayele ukuzibona ekutshuzeni kwabo, konke kubonakala sengathi basinde kokubili esiphephweni nasezinyangeni ezalandela ngaphandle kwezinkinga; abantu bakhona futhi banempilo, nezinombolo ezisezingeni elijwayelekile.
NgokukaSihlalo Webhodi, kukhuthaza kakhulu ukubona imisebenzi ye-dive ithuthuka futhi, kanye nentshisekelo eqinile kumkhiqizo wethu. “Siyaqaphela ukuthi izixhobo ezinempilo ziwumthombo oyigugu futhi ziheha abathandi bokubhukuda. I-Dive tourism ifaka amakhulu ezigidi zamaRandi emnothweni wesifunda unyaka nonyaka futhi sinethemba lokuthi singanyusa imali esiyitholayo kulo nyaka,” kusho uRolle.
