Bimini Sands and Neal Watson’s Bimini Scuba Center have announced their 2014 Shark Showdowns
• Video Week: January 25-February 01, 2014
• Photo Week: February 22- March 01, 2014
Join underwater photo and video legends Howard Hall, Michele Hall, David Dublilet and Jeremiah Sullivan, along with the GATES underwater team for a week of sun, sand, sharks and shooting.
Bimini has been at the forefront of shark science and shark conservation for decades with the establishment of the world renowned Bimini Biological Field Station (Sharklab), the world’s first Shark Free Marina and as part of the Bahamas Shark Sanctuary. Divers have also enjoyed countless species on various dive encounters, but this event marks the islands biggest media event dedicated solely to sharks.
Each year the great hammerheads migrate through the crystal clear waters of Bimini. Neal Watson’s Hammer Headquarters offers encounters with these majestic creatures lead by guides who developed the site and have over a decade of experience diving there.
These two different weeks of adventure includes shark diving, a wild stingray encounter, wild dolphins, a mangrove snorkel, meal, beverage and accommodations package, pro workshops, one on one tutorials throughout the week and prizes including gear from Oceanic/Aeris, Pelican, Shark Armor, Pascale Painter of the Blue, Silver Airways and a weekend getaway with airfare and diving at Bimini Sands.
Experience the great hammerheads of Bimini with a local dive operation, marine biologists, shark experts and photo and video pros. A portion of proceeds from these two weeks, goes directly to local shark research and conservation efforts.
