There are no bridges, and no formations of jumbo jets carrying nonstop streams of tourists to Bimini. If there were, the islands couldn't offer the same vacation opportunities to those fortunate few seeking a special, natural experience. In Bimini, you'll always find a stretch of beautiful beach to call your own, you won't ever have to compete for the best fishing or snorkeling spots, and you'll never feel like your hideaway is being overrun.
Whether you're game for a quick 2-night getaway or a week long vacation, you'll find our Dive + Hotel Packages specially designed with you in mind. Between Neal Watson's Bimini Scuba Center's exciting dive itineraries and Bimini Big Game Club Resort & Marina's charming rooms and fantastic restaurants, you'll never want to go home!
Whether you're staying at the Big Game Club Resort & Marina (which we highly recommend) or just over yonder, diving with Neal Watson's Bimini Scuba Center is always the right choice! Everyday (weather permitting) we set out to explore the island's beautiful reefs, wrecks and marine life. If you're looking to book more than what we offer below, give us a call at (242) 473 8816 or (800) 867 4764 or email us.
Direct exposure to the Atlantic Ocean and relatively shallow reefs make The Biminis one of the most spectacular aquatic destinations in The Bahamas. The amazing coral reefs, blue holes and canyons are not only easily accessible, but provide shelter for an abundance of marine life ranging from the tiniest of reef fish to turtles, dolphins, eagle rays and so much more!
Daily space is limited to 14 lucky guests who will experience these elusive giants up close! Exact departure and arrival times will be chosen by the captain and are dependent on weather and tides. The average Great Hammerhead Safari runs from 11am to 5pm. Guests should arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time.

We did 4 dives with them from 11-19 December. If you want to see Great Hammerheads and Tiger Sharks up close Neal and his team will deliver.
We did the hammerhead dives first on 11-12December out of Bimini. The dive site is only a short 15 minute boat ride from the marina. Once you get on site they start chumming the water, then they send a diver down to confirm the hammerheads are there. Once the shark is on site you gear up then go into the water. Once on the bottom the position you in a line with the current at your back and a piece of PVC piping in your hand so that you can position and ward

Absolutely recommended. GiGi, Jay, Rob and many others provide such a friendly, warm, safe environment and cater to everyone. They treat the marine life and environment with such respect and care - you can tell how much they love their jobs. They made it not just the best diving trip I’ve ever been on but one of the very best trips of my life. I didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to go back!

Nothing I can give but appreciation, despite some communication issues and not having cell phone service to find out our trip had left us!! LOL the dive center worked to get us a snorkel trip, and my wife and I couldn't be HAPPIER! It was like a private excursion! Cpt. Kev gave a great history of the wreck, helped us getting in and out and feeling comfortable in the water, and even though I chickened out on the second spot (he said reef sharks are friendly, but there was 1 of me and 20 of them!!!!) I couldn't have had a better time. My wife was 7 months pregnant and Cpt. Kev was so friendly and

We had an amazing time at Neal Watson’s! Highly recommend going out any time of the year if you are visiting the island. The dolphin tour was amazing. The captains were great. They knew the spots, knew conditions, knew how to place the boats. The crew was phenomenal. The second we entered the office everything was easy. The electronic signatures made checking in easy. The crew all made us feel like family. They offered gear storage so we didn’t have to keep lugging everything back to our Airbnb. The water bottles were a great touch. Always felt safe with the entire staff, cannot thank them

I dove with Neal Watson last week and cannot recommend them enough. From the beginning when I reached out over email to learn more about the dives I was interested in and Gigi quickly responded providing helpful information ,to the dives themselves, where I was surround by seasoned guides who made sure we had a safe, amazing experience from start to finish, the Neal Watson team was incredible and I cannot wait to go back for more!
A special thank you to Alonzo for getting me back in the swing of things with my scuba refresh. And then Alonzo, Jack, Captain Robin and Mattinique for the last Hammer

My Fiancé and I spent the weekend in Bimini specifically for these dives with Neal Watson’s Scuba Center. Absolutely amazing. The Captain and crew were fabulous. Shout out to Gigi for a great time and making us feel comfortable and safe. Every aspect of our dives were handled professionally and with care.
However, big side note: these Hammerhead photos do not even give the experience it’s true justice. ITS A MUST DO!
Hammerhead Dive - We got two full tanks at 25 foot depths. Two of the Crew members fed them while we all aligned together at the bottom and watched them circle around. TOTALLY

The crew is top notch and the hammer head dive was one of the best experiences I've had in my 31 years of diving. The crew gave probably the best briefing I've heard prior to the hammer head dive. The other dive sites are great too but its hard to beat the shark dive. There is now a female tiger shark that shows up regularly and she showed up for us. She was spectacular. As for a fun deep dive(80 feet) I'd suggest the Bimini barge.
