The Island
Bimini is a beautiful little island of The Bahamas. With caribean cutlure, crystal water, and an abundance of marine life it is a paradise.
The Bahamas is one of the few places in the world where you can meet the Great Hammerhead. Although this is expedition will be focusing on time in the water with the sharks, we will spend a special half day visiting the Shark Lab, an incredible NGO located there to learn more about sharks and specifically sharks in Bimini.
The Accomodation
We are fortunate enough to have landed some rooms with Bimini Big Game Resort. We will be departing right in front of our accommodation every day. Bimini Big Game has a pool and game room that we are all welcome to use on our off time. Rooms will be shared (3pax/room) unless requested separately.
The Food
Fresh food served daily for breakfast and lunch, while dinners are each guests responsibility. Being on an island we will be trying to support local establishments as much as we can.
About the trip
This retreat is for those who love and respect the ocean. You do not need to have any freediving or scuba certificates but it is a plus. You must be comfortable in the water and about 10m (30ft) deep. We will be freediving most days but will have an option for scuba on day 4 (two tanks) for those that are certified, while those who are not can cage dive with bull sharks (neither of these activities is included in the price)
We will have a very knowledgeable captain, guide, and handler who will not only be with us for our time with the sharks but will take us around the island (mangroves, shipwrecks, and swimming with stingrays).
