Field Notes From Bimini In The Bahamas – February 2025

Our return Shark diving visit to the Bahamas in search of the Great Hammerhead, this time in Bimini.

We had a very good week, getting six diving days with the sharks.

Photographically, we captured a decent set of images of the Great Hammerhead shark feeds, with the greatest challenges being fixed to one spot, trying to avoid the clutter of other divers next to us, getting a good combination of the shark and the shark feeder (so that you don’t end up with a “shark with human legs”), and dealing with suspended particles and varying visibility.

Also, I did a single 20-minute cage dive with the Bull Sharks by the boat dock near the dive centre and captured what I could. In summary, a great trip with some good images captured, using my 10-17mm fisheye zoom underwater, Amanda an 18-35mm, and above water, we also shot images of the people and place. – JC
