Why dive here
With 623+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins and eagle rays - Elbow Cays 4 offers some of Bimini's richest diving. Water sits around 26°C.
Kipcke Rock, for us, is a dive that truly reminds you you’re in Alaska. It’s a rugged spot, a rock outcrop where the wildness of the surface extends right down into the water. We’ve seen giant octopus here, always a thrill, their arms snaking out from crevices. You’ll also spot Big Skates gliding along the rocky bottom and the bizarre, spotted ratfish. Surface intervals are often marked by Common Loons and Guillemots bobbing nearby. It’s definitely a cooler water experience, so good drysuit skills are a plus, but the unique feel of the place makes it worthwhile for adventurous divers looking for something a bit different from the usual tropical scene.
