Rainbow Reef

25° 44.8′ N · 79° 17.7′ W

A shallow local dive and snorkel reef off the west shore of North Bimini near the Resorts World jetty, an easy first reef after the crossing.

Practical

Position from ActiveCaptain. Day stop only: a 2017 reviewer anchored close to the jetty overnight in light wind and rolled all night. Exposed to the Gulf Stream side, so go in settled easterly weather. Local operators run guided reef trips from the Big Game Club (Neal Watson's 'Captain's Choice' snorkel, $120 adult / $90 child plus 10% VAT, 2026).
