Anchor 8 in Bimini is primarily a drift dive, following the current along a sloping reef. We often spot pelagics here, with sailfish and swordfish occasionally cruising by in the blue. It’s a site for divers comfortable with open water and looking for bigger fish encounters. Keep an eye on the depth; it drops off quickly.
