On the western edge of the Bahamas, Bimini's Bull Run site draws bull sharks into shallow sand channels each winter, often sharing the stage with great hammerheads on the island's legendary big-animal circuit. Encounters sit in just 6 to 12 metres of water, making this one of the Caribbean's most accessible bull shark experiences. The core window runs from December through March when cooler water pulls both species close to shore.

No. Bull Run is a baited open-water dive in just 6 to 12 metres on sandy bottom. Divers kneel behind low reef lines while guides manage bait and shark proximity.

Single Bull Run dives typically run 250 to 400 BSD per person (2026 prices), roughly equivalent to USD, depending on operator, bait fees, and whether hammerhead days are bundled.
