About Rainbow Valley
Rainbow Valley is a Bimini wall dive on the Victory Reef system, with a sloping profile, swim-throughs, and coral structures that reward a slow, current-aware approach. On good days it delivers strong marine life, including turtles, sharks, rays, groupers, snapper, and other reef fish, but Gulf Stream timing can make drift planning important.
