Great Hammerhead Shark Diving @ Bimini

November - April

Bahamas Shark Diving

Ever dreamed of coming face-to-face with a shark in the wild? Shark diving is one of the most thrilling adventures the ocean offers, and the Bahamas is home to some of the world’s best encounters.

Epic Diving runs dedicated expeditions with a range of iconic species—from sleek reef sharks and awe-inspiring tiger sharks to the rare oceanic whitetip and the elusive great hammerhead. Every trip is designed for safe, heart-pounding excitement and unforgettable close-up encounters.

M/V Thresher

Our dive boat, M/V Thresher, moves between islands for the best shark diving encounters with the different species during their peak seasons.

Shark Diving Seasons

Each season brings a new destination and a new cast of ocean stars. Our expeditions follow the sharks to their seasonal hotspots for the best encounters possible.

Bimini – Great Hammerhead Season (November – April)
We start each year in Bimini, diving alongside the legendary great hammerhead—an incredible, rarely seen species. Guests may also encounter bull sharks, nurse sharks, southern stingrays, and even playful wild dolphins.

Cat Island – Oceanic Whitetip Season (March–June)
In spring, we head to Cat Island, world-famous for its crystal-clear bluewater encounters with oceanic whitetip sharks. These pelagic predators are often joined by silky sharks, dusky sharks, and, on lucky days, blue marlin. Drifting in the deep brings surprises—blue sharks, mobula rays, tiger sharks, and great hammerheads have all made appearances.

Bimini – Wild Dolphin Expeditions (Summer)
When summer arrives, we return to Bimini to swim with Atlantic spotted and bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat—an unforgettable experience in warm, turquoise waters.

Tiger Beach – Grand Bahama Island (October – June)
For the rest of the year, we base ourselves at the legendary Tiger Beach, home to some of the most reliable big shark encounters in the world. Here, you can see tiger sharks, reef sharks, lemon sharks, and, on occasion, great hammerheads and bull sharks. It’s not unusual to encounter up to six shark species on a single dive.

Dive Conditions

We select sites that combine optimal conditions with the best shark activity for the season.

All our dives are in warm, clear Bahamian waters, with depths from 20 to 60 feet and visibility often exceeding 100 feet. Water temperatures range from 76°F to 82°F—perfect for extended encounters and incredible photography.

This was, by far, our best experience with these magnificent animals
Thank you for introducing us to Cat Island’s Oceanic White Tip Sharks. We visited Cat Island with Epic Diving in May 2012. Although we’ve seen oceanic white-tip sharks a few times in the past, this was, by far, our best experience with these magnificent animals. Visits by silky sharks and a spectacular blue marlin were major bonuses. Your professionalism, knowledge and skills helped to make our time on Cat Island a memorable Adventure, and it was great getting to know Debra and Vinnie and the team at Epic Diving.

A rare present
Being able to dive in clear, blue, oceanic water like this is always a treat, but being able to dive in this oceanic water with oceanic whitetip sharks (not to mention a blue marlin and silky sharks) was a rare present.

Needless to say, I’ll be back!
Epic diving will provide the ultimate shark encounters with safety. I’ve been on multiple trips with owner/operators Debra and Vincent for tiger sharks, great hammerheads and oceanic white tips. Their experience and track record speak volumes; but the ultimate is to see them interact with the sharks. You can feel the love and respect they have for these amazing and beautiful creatures of the sea. This is obvious in how the sharks interact with them as well. I’m an underwater photographer so I appreciate his and can see it in my images. Needless to say, I will be back!

Ultimate experience
This was my first and definitely not last trip to see sharks with Epic Diving. Spent six fantastic days with Debra and Vincent enjoying a great company of tiger sharks in Grand Bahama and great hammerheads in Bimini. Epic Diving provides the ultimate experience one will never forget. They are the best operator in the area, very competent and reliable. They are the best at ensuring divers’ safety underwater and taking good care of sharks. The boat is very comfortable and spacious. I think we all appreciated bean bags on the way back after a few hours in the water. 😉 I will definitely recommend Epic Diving to anyone interested in diving with big apex predators and as I said this is definitely not my last trip with this great team!
