Operator page describing The Strip as a long, thin reef line that concentrates marine 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.

Scuba Diving
A premier day-or-night reef dive where the compact coral strip concentrates fish life and rewards careful buoyancy.

Snorkeling
Some shallow sections exist, but the best experience is underwater because the fish life concentrates on the reef line itself.
