  • Conditions were challenging when I went to Bimini in March. The sand there is like powder and countless pesky nurse sharks can stir it up a lot. Without a current to carry away the particles, divers quickly find themselves surrounded by a giant cloud, which makes photographing these beautiful, but shy creatures very tricky.

  • Everybody that goes to Bimini will want to see Great Hammerheads. During those dives, most other fish can be quite distracting as they constantly "photo bomb" otherwise great pictures. These remoras however, dancing underneath the boat in the afternoon sun, offered a truly special moment. One of my favourite pictures of this trip to the Bahamas!

  • Shark feeder Vincent Canabal offering up a snack to this beauty! Despite their enormous size, great hammerheads share their smaller cousins' shyness. Seeing them in direct comparison with the notoriously curious tiger sharks is a real eye-opener.

  • This beautiful great hammerhead was one of the stars of my recent trip to Bimini! Despite their enormous size and power, they are incredibly cautious and can even be regarded as shy. Unlike the tiger sharks at Tiger Beach, these sharks are easily spooked by people not being calm, or even the ever-present, far smaller nurse sharks!

  • This is what happens when a pack of nurse sharks go mad in Bimini. The fine sand produces giant clouds and visibility drops to near zero. Still good fun though!

  • Mangroves are nurseries for many species of fish and other animals. The young use the roots for protection from larger predators before venturing out into open water. This is only one reason why mangroves are extremely important to marine ecosystems.

  • When the sun sets in Bimini, fish seek shelter between the mangrove roots. These protect them from larger predators like the bull sharks that frequent the lagoon.
