About Blue Chromis - Bahamas
Blue Chromis - Bahamas is a Bimini reef with a sloping profile, spur-and-groove structure, and plenty of swim-throughs and overhangs. It is best treated as a moving reef run rather than a leisurely fixed-route dive, with current shaping the pace of the dive. The structure rewards good buoyancy and a steady team. Expect vivid coral color, sea fans and gorgonians near the top, and small reef life tucked into the ledges and coral heads, including lobsters, eels, and other close-in subjects.
