Bimini Islands Scuba Diving

Whilst Bimini does not quite have the large numbers of dive sites that are traditionally associated with some of the larger islands, what it lacks in numbers, it more than compensates for in quality. A diverse mixture of reef dives, drifts and wrecks have ensured that the vast majority of divers who have visited Bimini have gone home satisfied.

Out of all the dive sites throughout Bimini, undoubtedly the most curious and most well known, is The Bimini Road. Two long, straight strips, made up from limestone, square stones approximately 6 feet across run in parallel lines along the North West coast of the island. The fact that they undoubtedly look man made, merely serves to add to the mystery of the area, and has even led many to believe that it may in fact be a part of the lost city of Atlantis. The flat, limestone structures do not house many fish, or indeed any form of marine life. However, for the sheer curiosity value, the Bimini Road is certainly worth a dive or two.

There are some other great dive sites in the waters surrounding Bimini, and sites such as the Bimini Barge and Little Caverns provide divers with an opportunity to see the more prolific side of the Bahamas marine life. Other sites worth considering around the island include The Bimini Wall, Nodules, Victory Reef and Sapora, all of which are worth diving if you are visiting Bimini.
