Diving in Bimini
Just 50 miles east of Florida, Bimini delivers big on world-class diving. Gin-clear water, abundant coral reefs, legendary wrecks and wild encounters just minutes from the dock. Swim with Wild Dolphins. Drift with Stingrays. Spot Reef Sharks on patrol. Come face-to-face with Great Hammerheads in their winter hangout. In Bimini, colorful coral reefs, sheer walls, shallow wrecks and caverns produce a variety of dive types including night dives, drift dives, easy reef dives and tec dives. Of course, this part of the Bahamas is most famous for its shark dives. Beginners will feel comfortable at many of the protected reefs, but the Gulf Stream, which travels past Bimini, can create fast-paced drifts more suitable to advanced divers. While it is possible to access a number of the reefs from shore, the majority of diving takes place from small speedboats.
