The Southern Escarpment in Bimini offers a solid wall dive. The wall itself drops steadily, with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. It’s a reliable spot for encountering larger pelagics, especially sailfish making passes further out. We'd suggest this site for divers who appreciate dramatic topography and the chance for big animal sightings.
