Bahamas/Want to move to the Caribbean

Question
I have the opportunity to work remotely for my job. I'd like to move to the
Caribbean, I think. I used to live in Okinawa, Japan, and while I know that it
won't be the same, I know I love island living.

Here are the main things I want:

Scuba diving
Beautiful beaches
Affordable (I could pay about $1500 USD/mo for rent)
Entertainment - I'm a young, single guy, and I need some night life
Reliable electricity and internet (need it for my job)
Low on violent crime. I don't mind petty theft and stuff like that, but it's
important to me to be safe from armed theft, murder, etc.

I don't speak Spanish, but I'll be happy to learn it.

I'm going to make a visit before I move, of course. I'd appreciate any
suggestions on places to check out.

Answer
Hi,

Well, I don't know how much I can help you on this subject. I love the Bahamas!! There are so many I think thousands of islands of the Bahamas, me I liked the out islands  of the Abacos, because there weren't that many people on them, just one little town and most had dirt roads. But then again, you have Nassau or Freeport that you can go to that are still in the islands chain. You might try looking at some of those islands. If you need anymore help I will gladly send you some different websites to look at, you can email me if you would like also:   neskeeter1@aol.com
that way you don't have to wait on the listing, just put moving to caribbean or something in the subject and I will know it is you. I have lots of different sites you can go to. Let me know if I can help
