Whether you’re new to the scuba diving scene or grew up exploring the mysteries of the ocean, having the most memorable of experiences is dependent on tapping into the right locations where diving is a dream: Bimini.  Whether a beginner or a skilled, the intriguing waters of Bimini offer opportunities for all divers with a normal visibility of 100 feet. Once submerged under the mysterious waters, divers can engage in all kinds of dives including walls, reefs and wrecks along with drift diving, where the diver descends into water with a known current and lets the current carry him along.  Those worried about cold water can relax as the average temperature ranges from the low 70’s to high 80’s. Popular and adventurous, diving is an activity that everyone should experience at least once in their life. Different dives to experience in Bimini include the Bimini Barge, a massive tug that rests in 90 feet of water with the top of the wreck rising to 65 feet; Tuna Alley (named due to annual migration of tuna through the area), a reef area running parallel to the Gulf Stream that includes impressive coral formations and many marine species; The Strip, a shallow water dive site known for its nocturnal activity such as large sea turtles; Atlantis, a must-see dive in Bimini that claims to being part of the Lost City of Atlantis (tune into the next newsletter for the story of the Lost City of Atlantis); and then there are always shark dives for the risk-takers and dolphin excursions, a family favorite.  For a full listing of dive sites in Bimini and further information on diving, please contact the resort at (242) 347-2900.
