Dive Trip to Bimini!
Posted Jun 14, 2005 @ 10:02 PM CDT by raf

Batten down the hatches, we're going to Bimini!  DiveSpots.com will be traveling 50 miles due east to check out the diving, meet with the local dive shops, and perhaps enjoy a Kalik or two.  We'll be there to round-off our research of top Bimini dive spots, to photograph some of the wrecks and reefs, and to meet with local dive operations.  Yes, this is a research trip -- all work and no play.  It's a tough job...

We're heading out June 24th, leaving the Marina at 7am.  If the weather is favorable, we should make it across in about 2 hours.  The official DiveSpots.com vessel is a 27 foot twin-engine Grady-White catamaran that has made the trip twice before.  She's a great ship, comfortable and dependable.  Having said that, trekking out 50 miles across the Gulfstream is nothing to take lightly.  The weather can be unpredictable this time of year and the seas can get a bit bumpy, so being prepared for the worst is always a good idea.  In future posts, I'll share some "crossing" advice and detail our journey there and back.  And of course, I'll have a full report on the scuba diving and snorkeling, complete with GPS coordinates and photographs.
