Bimini Diving: Great Hammerheads, Bull Sharks and Wrecks
Why dive here
With 367+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and nurse sharks - Bimini Diving: Great Hammerheads, Bull Sharks and Wrecks offers some of Abaco's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 24-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Bimini offers a solid mix of shark encounters and wreck exploration. We’ve had some truly memorable dives here with the hammerheads, especially during the winter months when they’re more prevalent. Beyond the big pelagics, the wrecks, like the Sapona, are a real draw. She’s a half-submerged concrete ship, now a vibrant artificial reef, where we’ve often found schooling fish and the occasional turtle, making for some fantastic photo opportunities, even if the visibility can get a bit sporty sometimes. It's a good spot for divers comfortable with drift dives and keen on larger marine life.
