January 2006	Went on BlackBeards liveaboard called the Sea Explorer. Had a great experience with up to 4 dives per day, including night dives. Crew were fantastic and made the whole experience. Date posted: 18-Jan-2006 22:32 by: Andy
May 2005	I went diving around Bimini on Blackbeard's liveaboard which is an excellent operation. I thought the diving was varied enough to make each dive special. Lots of swim throughs, overhangs, walls and wrecks. The coral and fish life was great and always something interesting on each dive. Lobsters, caribbean reef sharks, rays, barracuda, nurse sharks, and all the usual suspect reef fish. Bull run is a beautiful dive site. We had one night in the port of Bimini which was so much fun. The Complete Angler pub is not to be missed. Date posted: 26-Aug-2005 13:32 by: Steph
May 2000	Bimini is a wonderful place to relax. The diving is really wonderful if come via a live aboard. the diving operations there are small so don' expect miracles. To see the really great dives live aboards is the way to go. The end of the world is wonderful little bar operated by Sarah and has been featured on the travle channel. She has the best conch salad in the bahama's and her fritters are not shabby either. If you want to relax with palms and water in the background drink a few beers and chill with the locals this is the place to be. If you are looking for excitement Bimini is not for you. It is a simple little slice of heaven that Hemingway found and enjoyed also. The history here is wonderful along with the stories. Date posted: 29-Jul-2005 23:21 by: Bob
May 2005	The dive operation we went with....Scuba Bimini.........was very poor. Our boat had black smoke pouring out the back and bad steering, which on one dive, went out,...........we waited for 2 hours while a boat came out to bring us back to shore. I have been to Bimini before with this same dive operation, but would not come back because of them. Date posted: 07-Jul-2005 06:01 by: diverbon
March 2004	Not near the top of my list to go back to. Date posted: 02-Jul-2005 20:40 by: narcosis
December 2004	Hurricanes were not nice to Bimini. Reefs beat up, broken and sanded over. Did see a sea horse though (attached to the dock at Bimini Big Game Club). Diving was underwhelming. Island has little other activities except fishing (which is excellent). Date posted: 01-Jun-2005 19:11 by: TM2DIVE

Wreck Dives:

Here are the wreck dives we know of for Bimini.

Bimini Barge

The Bimini Barge sank in the late 1980s during a hurricane. The 120-foot vessel sits upright on a sandy bottom just on the edge of the continental shelf. The sandy bottom is about 100 feet and the top of the barge can be reached at 65 feet. The barge is completely overgrown with corals and sponges making it a beautiful artificial reef. Divers can penetrate the wreck and swim among the big fish. Passageways are narrow. There can be an extremely strong current.

21m / 69ft

30m / 98ft

Accidental sinking: 01-Jan-1987

Wreck penetration is possible.

Technical or decompression diving.
