Dream Trip: Dive and Surf From Florida to the Bahamas
Ultimate Adventure Bucket List: Cave diver Kenny Broad's wildest dream trip is to cave dive and surf from Florida to the Bahamas. See all our Adventure Bucket List trips.
Kenny Broad sees the adventure beneath the surface—literally. The cave diver and cultural anthropologist has explored much of subterranean Florida and the Bahamas through its underworld of watery limestone caves and passageways.
His dream trip is something he dubs the “Caves, Waves, and Babes Expedition,” a water sport odyssey across Florida and the Bahamas with his wife, Amy, and sons Lincoln, four, and Jasper, eight. From Cedar Key and Manatee Springs on the Gulf Coast of Florida, the epicenter of cave diving, the group would “dive our way underground and paddle rivers on surface until we come out in the Atlantic, then cross the Gulf Stream in my trawler, and make our way to the Bahamas,” says Broad. “From there, we’d cave dive all the way down the Caribbean, with breaks to surf when the waves are good.”
