Bull Run
Shark-rich Bimini reef maze with coral heads and swim-throughs.
ScubaBoat EntryIntermediate
Reef
Local operator required
The site is typically managed as a local-operator boat dive because of offshore access and the shark-focused briefing needs.
Boat-only reef dive over sand and coral heads; not very deep, but frequent shark encounters and small overhead sections make clean buoyancy and briefing discipline important.
About Bull Run
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.

Key Hazards
Overhead environmentDangerous wildlife
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.
