On this pioneering holiday to the sun kissed island of South Bimini in the Bahamas, we will have the opportunity to work with leading shark scientists and swim with up to eight species of these fascinating creatures. Great Hammerhead, Lemon, Nurse, Bull and possibly Tiger are among the species we hope to see with varied snorkelling sessions also including the chance to get in the water with Atlantic Spotted Dolphins, Green Turtles, Eagle Rays and a range of other marine life in the crystal clear, warm waters.

The Bahamas are made up of over 700 beautiful islands scattered over 100,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean. Boasting pristine, white sandy beaches and the clearest waters on the planet, this archipelago is legendary amongst snorkelers and divers. Following a night in Miami, we will be based for seven nights on the tiny, picturesque island of South Bimini, which lies just 50 miles off the coast of Miami. Here we will have the unique opportunity to accompany researchers and snorkel with a diverse range of shark species, including Caribbean Reef, Nurse, Lemon, Blacktip, Great Hammerhead, Bull and even Tiger Sharks. Of course there will also be time to relax on the beaches, explore the island, and go diving for those who wish to do so.
Sharks, as apex predators, are vital for the survival of healthy marine ecosystems, but they are sadly being lost at an alarming rate. We will learn about these species and enter the calm, warm waters to snorkel with Caribbean Reef Sharks and the legendary Great Hammerhead, float over the wreck of the SS Sapona, which teems with stingrays and beautiful corals, and watch juvenile Lemon Sharks leave their mangrove nurseries. Other snorkelling sites may hold Eagle Rays and Nurse, Bull and even Tiger Sharks, while swimming with Atlantic Spotted Dolphins is another special experience we will aim to achieve. Offshore, we will assist with catching and tagging sharks, and we will even have the opportunity to see some species close up as we contribute directly to cutting-edge conservation.
Our apartments are close to the beach and there will be ample time in which to relax and enjoy the tranquillity of this special place. We can take walks to find the island’s Burrowing Owls and other wildlife, while those who are qualified may wish to go scuba-diving on the scheduled rest day. After a week of world-class snorkelling, truly unique experiences and relaxation, we fly back to Miami and onward to the UK.

Summary

The Bahamas are made up of over 700 beautiful islands scattered over 100,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean. Boasting pristine, white sandy beaches and the clearest waters on the planet, this archipelago is legendary amongst snorkelers and divers. Following a night in Miami, we will be based for seven nights on the tiny, picturesque island of South Bimini, which lies just 50 miles off the coast of Miami. Here we will have the unique opportunity to accompany researchers and snorkel with a diverse range of shark species, including Caribbean Reef, Nurse, Lemon, Blacktip, Great Hammerhead, Bull and even Tiger Sharks. Of course there will also be time to relax on the beaches, explore the island, and go diving for those who wish to do so.

Sharks, as apex predators, are vital for the survival of healthy marine ecosystems, but they are sadly being lost at an alarming rate. We will learn about these species and enter the calm, warm waters to snorkel with Caribbean Reef Sharks and the legendary Great Hammerhead, float over the wreck of the SS Sapona, which teems with stingrays and beautiful corals, and watch juvenile Lemon Sharks leave their mangrove nurseries. Other snorkelling sites may hold Eagle Rays and Nurse, Bull and even Tiger Sharks, while swimming with Atlantic Spotted Dolphins is another special experience we will aim to achieve. Offshore, we will assist with catching and tagging sharks, and we will even have the opportunity to see some species close up as we contribute directly to cutting-edge conservation.

Our apartments are close to the beach and there will be ample time in which to relax and enjoy the tranquillity of this special place. We can take walks to find the island’s Burrowing Owls and other wildlife, while those who are qualified may wish to go scuba-diving on the scheduled rest day. After a week of world-class snorkelling, truly unique experiences and relaxation, we fly back to Miami and onward to the UK.
