ABOUT THE TRIP
It’s time to take you into the ocean with some of the largest sharks on the planet. This expedition includes a 5 night stay in Bimini, a small chain of islands in the Bahamas just 50 miles off the coast of Florida. Despite being one of the closest Bahamian islands to the U.S., Bimini is home to some of the most spectacular shark diving in the world.
Every winter, from November through April, great hammerheads move into the shallow waters just off Bimini. With crystal clear water averaging around 20 feet of visibility and no cages involved, you’ll have the opportunity to come face to face with one of the ocean’s most iconic apex predators in one of the few places on Earth where encounters like this are possible.
Featuring Queen, the largest great hammerhead ever recorded in The Bahamas, alongside unforgettable tiger shark encounters, a community of like minded ocean lovers, and a true once in a lifetime experience.
Join the Apex Ocean Travel family and embark on an unforgettable adventure to experience one of the greatest shark dives on the planet.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to Bimini?
Guests will either take a ferry from Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades, or take a short flight on Tropic Ocean Airways from Fort Lauderdale
Do I need a scuba certification to join this tour?
Yes, the great hammerhead dives are on scuba, though the dives are shallow, so only open water cert is needed.
Do I need to be an experienced swimmer?
You don’t need to be an expert, but you should feel comfortable swimming in open ocean conditions without touching the bottom during the ocean safari day.
What marine life can I expect to see?
Wildlife encounters cannot be guaranteed – though we expect to see great hammerhead sharks, tiger sharks, bull sharks, and dolphins.
Do you take photos or videos during the tour?
Yes! Your trip leader will document the safari so you can relive your adventure without worrying about bringing a camera.
Are chum/cages used?
Yes the great hammerhead dives start with chum/bait, this can take minutes or hours to attract the sharks. Only the bull shark dive on day 1 uses a cage.
What should I bring?
- Full wetsuit (5mm recommended for longer dives)
- Scuba Gear
- Camera Gear
- Sunscreen (reef-safe only)
- Hat & sunglasses
What is the weather like?
February is one of Bimini’s cooler months. Expect air temperatures in the mid-70s°F (around 24°C) during the day, dropping into the mid-to-upper 60s°F at night, with about 8 hours of sunshine a day and only light rainfall. Water temperature runs around 75°F (24°C) — comfortably diveable, but on the cool side, which is why a full 5mm wetsuit, hood, and gloves are required gear for every dive day. Conditions can shift day to day, so pack layers for topside as well.
