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 wall diving. Water sits around 26°C.
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.
