Bimini

Big Game Fishing:
Located right where the waters of the Gulf Stream and the Bahama Banks meet, Bimini is at the heart of big game fishing territory. Marlin, tuna, sailfish , wahoo, grouper, and swordfish are just some of the many types of fish that are abundant here. Bimini’s outstanding reputation for fishing attracts people from all over the world who are seeking to catch a trophy fish. Many fishing tournaments are held here throughout the year. It's no surprise that over 50 world records have been set in the waters off Bimini, with new ones being made all the time.

Snorkeling and Scuba Diving:
Once you've caught your prize catch, you can enjoy some of the great snorkeling and scuba diving sites off the shores of Bimini. Miles of reefs around the island boast brilliantly colored fish, and black coral gardens. The Gulf Stream drop-off, with it's dramatic 2,000 foot drop down to the ocean floor is a breath-taking diving experience. Other popular dive sites you can explore include "Bimini Road", the mysterious underwater formation said to be part of the lost continent of Atlantis, and the wreck of the ship The Sapona, which sank off the coast of Bimini in 1929.

Shark Mounds:
The Shark Mounds of Bimini are sand dunes which are shaped like various animals, most notably a shark. These huge mounds can only be seen from the air, while flying over the island. No one is quite certain how or when the dunes were formed. Could it be just a natural coincidence, or were they man-made? These unusual mounds appear on early maps of Bimini drawn by natives, before they had the ability to fly. Are the shark mounds a natural phenomenon, or a supernatural one? Come find out for yourself.

Hemingway Museum:
Located in the lounge of the Compleat Angler Hotel in Alice Town, North Bimini, the museum displays photos and writings of Ernest Hemingway during his stay on Bimini from 1935-1937. Hemingway came to Bimini to fish and write, and he succeeded at both. He popularized big game fishing here, and worked on the manuscript for To Have And Have Not. Come see why Bimini was the inspiration for Hemingway's unfinished novel Islands In The Stream.

"Bimini Road": Lost Continent of Atlantis?:
Explorers, divers, and those who are just plain curious come from all over the world to see "Bimini Road", a mysterious underwater formation which some claim is part of the lost continent of Atlantis. The formation consists of huge square blocks laid out in two parallel lines, and is visible from shallow water. Jaques Cousteau was so intrigued by reports of the strange formation that he came to investigate and film the stones. Other marine research teams have followed, but no one has been able to offer any definitive explanation. Could the stones really be part of the lost continent of Atlantis? We may never know for certain, but you can check them out for yourself.

Healing Hole:
Bimini's famous Healing Hole is a freshwater sulfur spring located deep in the mangrove forest on the northeastern part of Bimini. Some people believe the spring has magical powers, but others attribute it's healing effects to the high concentration of minerals in the water. Whatever your view, you can take a dip in the Healing Hole and feel rejuvenated.

Beaches:
Some say Bimini has the most beautiful beaches in the Bahamas. Untouched by pollution, the sand is soft and white, and the crystal clear water is a beautiful shade of blue. Beaches such as Bimini Bay, Porgy Bay and Paradise Point are remote and secluded, perfect for a quiet day in the sun.

Cám ơn MHTT .

Không biết bị cận thị có đeo kiến để scuba diving hay snorkeling không . Nếu không chắc phải mua contact lenses quá . Đi quá Bahamas mà không tham gia bơi lội thì chắc uổng lắm há ?

[xnt]

Không biết bị cận thị có đeo kiến để scuba diving hay snorkeling không . Nếu không chắc phải mua contact lenses quá . Đi quá Bahamas mà không tham gia bơi lội thì chắc uổng lắm há ?

Không mang contact lenses được đâu. Bạn nên mua Prescription Mask with corrective lenses. Cũng nên certify hay refresh scuba trước nếu bạn ko đi thường để đở phí thời gian học .

BTW, Nghe nói đến Nassau bên Bahamas có cái resort Atlantis đẹp lắm. Fê nhất là hồ cá của họ ..

[songphi]

Thanks xnt.

Vậy thì đi snorkeling thôi thì chắc đeo contact lenses được chứ? Mình thì không có contact lenses nhưng mình nghỉ nếu đeo kính cận thì chắc không được hén . :)

[xnt]

Thanks xnt.

Vậy thì đi snorkeling thôi thì chắc đeo contact lenses được chứ? Mình thì không có contact lenses nhưng mình nghỉ nếu đeo kính cận thì chắc không được hén . :)

Snorkeling thì phải mang mask và cái ống thở. Mà mask thì cũng dễ bị nước vô mắt, nhất là mask mượn thường ko fit khuôn mặt của mình.

Trừ phi bạn cận nặng còn không thì mang cái mask là đủ ngắm các thứ trong nước rùi. Thử mang trong hồ bơi xem có thấy tới đáy ko ..
