Hey – do you speak Russian? Would you like to see our "What is DCP" page translated into Russian?

The "1st Bilingual Diving Magazine", EZ DIVE, featured Bimini, The Bahamas in their Oct/Nov 2009 issue. The author’s underwater photographs were taken during boat trips with local operator Al Sweeting, Jr.
You can read the story (and the DCP shout out!) by clicking here.

One of our favorite Bimini dolphins (oh, wait, aren’t they all our favorites!?) has just received a name! ID#078, now called “Speedy,” was named by Jenni MacArthur for Mark Tse. Speedy is a juvenile male who is just that.

Our latest Gazette is hot off the press! This issue of the Gazette focuses mostly on Bimini – the studies, the people and, of course, the dolphins.

Help DCP to land a grant! We’ve put in a grant proposal that you can checkout online at this link: http://tinyurl.com/yjmrzfr
Anyone can leave a comment about our grant idea, and the granting agency (The MacArthur Foundation) will be keeping tabs to see which proposals generate the most buzz. If there any any fans of DC…P out there who would like to help, please feel free to leave feedback about how totally awesome our grant idea is. Which it is of course.

The details might be a might fuzzy (Sea Crest Hotel & Marina has 25 rooms), but NatGeo has the rest correct – Bimini has beautiful often empty beaches, mangroves and of course, wild dolphins!
