Beckenried Rütenen Einstieg 1 - Istria Peninsula
Dog Rocks 4 in Bimini is primarily a rocky area, best known for its pelagic action. We've often seen various tuna species here, like Albacore and Allison's, along with dorado and barracuda zipping through. It's a site for divers keen on big fish encounters rather than intricate reef exploration. Expect less coral, more open water, and a good chance of spotting something substantial passing by.
