Anchor 8
Why dive here
With 623+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins and eagle rays - Anchor 8 offers some of Bimini's richest diving. Water sits around 26°C.
Bonson Rock in Alaska offers a proper cold water dive, a real contrast to those tropical trips. Drop down onto rocky slopes, where the big draw is often the chance to spot some hefty Big Skates cruising along the bottom. We’ve also seen plenty of Spiny Dogfish hanging around, and if you have a good eye, tiny Roughpatch Shrimp hiding in the nooks. It’s a dive for those who appreciate the unique beauty of northern waters and don't mind a bit of chill.
