| Dives in Bimini/Cat Cay |
Bimini Road - Also known as the road to Atlantis. This 20' dive is made up of large rectangular stones on a sandy bottom. Many people believe it to be man made, possibly a road from the lost city of Atlantis. You will be surprised by the richness of marine life. It makes a great snorkel or dive. |
Bull Run- The sight of Blackbeard's Shark Dive but it would be a nice dive even without sharks. The coral grows on high mounds with swim throughs and overhangs. Azure Vase Sponges sprout in many locations. We feed the sharks a chumsicle (a frozen block of fish). The shark feeding is done on a flat sandy area with a tall coral ridge on one side and sea grass meadow on the other. In addition to the Caribbean Reef and Nurse Sharks there are Black Groupers, Gray Angelfish and Yellowtail Snappers waiting for the food. |
Hesperus- Also known as the turtle wreck. It has numerous loggerhead turtles, barracudas, sting rays, nurse sharks and occasionally you see other types of sharks. It is visited by many pelagics, kingfish, mackerel, pompano, permit and cobia. Large schools of snapper and grunts. It lies in 15' of water. |
Moray Alley- A 50' dive with coral spurs arranged on a white sand bottom. Diving here is like turning the pages of a reef fish identification book. In many places the heads of Star Coral have skirts of bright orange and yellow where boring sponges have invaded their interiors.

| Andros |
Bethel Channel- A labyrinth of corals in 50' of water. One group discovered an unusual cleaning station here. At a large Star Coral three different fish, two juvenile Spanish hogfish, two bluehead wrasse and a small pack of sharknose gobies were cleaning a school of creole wrasse that were standing vertically on their heads. |
Potomac- A wreck of a cargo steamer in a reef at 20'. The variety of life on this shallow reef is amazing. Everyone comes up talking about something different. A list of one group was octopus, lobster, a nurse shark, rainbow parrotfish, doctorfish, hermit crabs, arrowcrabs, soldierfish, squid and several spotted morays.
