Long, low reef strip with dense fish life.
Long, low reef strip with dense fish life.
The Strip is a classic Bimini reef line: a long, low coral strip set in sand, with ledges and overhangs that concentrate fish life. It works as a day or night dive with a lot of visual activity in a small footprint, and the wider Bimini waters add the chance of turtles, rays, and bigger shark traffic around the area. Calm conditions make the pickup straightforward and the reef line easier to read.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Watch the current, keep a clean profile over the strip, and stay close to the dive plan if the water starts moving.
Access Restrictions
Boat access through Bimini dive operations; the site is usually run as a guided reef stop rather than a shore entry.
Legal Notes
Follow the charter plan and local current guidance; the reef line is best dived with a clear pickup strategy.

Scuba Diving
A premier day-or-night reef dive where the compact coral strip concentrates fish life and rewards careful buoyancy.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive site; the reef line is most straightforward on scuba with a clear boat plan.
Snorkeling
Some shallow sections exist, but the best experience is underwater because the fish life concentrates on the reef line itself.
