In the summer of 1995 Dive Bahamas received a makeover. It became the home to the feature film "Flipper" starring Elija Wood and Paul Hogan. Through the magic of Hollywood, a quaint dive operation, has been transformed in to a Bahamian fishing village complete with school, general store, fish market, and restaurant. |

| Yes - we know it looks in dis-repair - it’s supposed to!
The entire set was built in the summer of 1996 out of brand new pressure treated lumber. After construction the special effects crews came in with their tricks and literally overnight cracked and aged all of the finishes.
