I was in Bimini last month with my daughter and I have a few tidbiits of info I would like to share with you.
No issues with air travel. I flew Delta to Ft. lauderdale and Continental to Bimini south.
Customs in Bimini went like this, "do you have anyting to declare mon" I say "no", "Tank you mon, next". A taxi-van then takes you to a dock that is next door to Scuba Bimini where a taxi-boat takes you to north bimini. The ride was $5 each and I tipped $2 a bag.
My buddy picked us up from the North Bimini taxi dock and took us to his boat the RV Tiburon. It is a 63' Gulfstream rigged for diving research. He was between projects and invited a few of his friends and there kids to Bimini for a week of snorkeling, diving, and swimming with the dolphins. The RV Tiburon was docked at the Bimini Big Game Club. http://www.biminibiggame.com/
After the meet and greet I grabbed my camera and snorkel gear and went to the mangroves across the channel from the marina. It was slack low tide, a belly crawl in some spots. The juvy barracuda are so cute.

Day 2, we spent the morning searching for dolphin, spotted two, no pods. After lunch some of us dove the Bimini Road and others went beach-combing. Later on we looked for dolphin again with no luck. Dinner at the marina and swimming in the pool took care of the evening activities.
