Sampson Cay to Staniel Cay (Big Major Spot)

Staniel Cay;
Home of the “Thunderbal Cave” where the James Bond film “Tunderball” shot the underwater cave scene. The grotto is attainable at low tide. Once inside there is an opening in the roof and sun rays shine down to illuminate the cavern. Quite a remarkable scene. We bring in bread in a zip-lock and get surrounded by tons of fish trying to get a piece.
At the docks there is a fish cleaning station where the locals clean their catch. At cleaning time, the sharks show up for their daily meal.
