Why dive here
With 623+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins and eagle rays - Cay Sal Island offers some of Bimini's richest diving. Water sits around 26°C.
Tanu Rock is a pretty typical Alaskan shore dive, offering a solid slice of the local temperate water experience. The rocky substrate here is home to a surprising number of invertebrates, like sunflower stars and those big green sea urchins, which we always enjoy spotting amongst the giant kelp. You’ll also likely see a few different salmon species, depending on the season, and sometimes we’ve been lucky enough to spot schools of Pacific herring moving through. It's a reliable dive for getting a feel for the region’s cooler waters.
