Southern Escarpment
Why dive here
With 623+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins and eagle rays - Southern Escarpment offers some of Bimini's richest reef diving. Water sits around 26°C.
Blow Reef in Alaska offers a stark contrast to tropical diving, with its cold, nutrient-rich waters supporting a different kind of beauty. Divers here will likely encounter various salmon species, Dungeness and slender crabs, and large spiral bryozoan colonies. It’s a site best suited for experienced cold-water divers keen on exploring a unique sub-arctic ecosystem and appreciating marine life adapted to chillier environments. We’d also keep an eye out for orcas passing through the area.
