The site is typically managed as a local-operator boat dive because of offshore access and the shark-focused briefing needs.
Bull Run is a shark-focused reef off Bimini where scattered coral heads, sand lanes and algae patches create a broad maze that divers visit for close passes from resident Caribbean reef sharks. Most dives weave between the larger heads and low caverns, with swim-throughs and sandy openings breaking up the route instead of one single wall or wreck line. Planning stays important even though it is not especially deep: the site is boat-only, overhead-style coral sections reward careful buoyancy, and divers should expect regular shark traffic throughout the dive.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
10m - 18m
Depth Note
Depth given as 35–60 ft (10–18 m).
Best Season
Bimini diving runs year-round, but the cooler and clearer winter-to-spring pattern from roughly November to May is the most established season for the area's shark-focused diving.
Typical Conditions
Expect a mid-depth reef of high-profile coral heads over white sand with generally clear water, regular shark activity and only light to moderate current on many dives.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Stay disciplined around the swim-throughs and avoid fixating on sharks at the expense of buoyancy and buddy position. Even in moderate conditions, the mix of coral overheads, lionfish and frequent close shark passes makes this a site to dive with a proper briefing and controlled finning.
Access Restrictions
Bull Run is an offshore boat-access reef and is normally dived with a local operator rather than independently.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Divers usually tour the coral maze and sandy pockets at moderate depth, watching the heads and openings for sharks, grouper, rays and smaller reef life.
