Master the definitive field methodology for distinguishing engineered beach rock joint angles from naturally-occurring carbonate formations at the Bimini Road site. This intermediate-level, client-ready course is built for working underwater guides, marine archaeologists, and dive professionals who need a reliable, defensible workflow they can deploy on the water with paying clients.

What You'll Learn

• The geological and sedimentological context of the Bimini Road formation

• How to measure, document, and interpret joint angles in situ

• Key diagnostic criteria separating natural beachrock fracture patterns from potential anthropogenic alignment

• Client-communication frameworks: how to present findings without overstating or understating the evidence

• Field documentation protocols using standard dive slate and digital methods

• How to handle skeptical clients, contradictory literature, and ambiguous evidence on-site

Who This Is For

Intermediate-level dive guides and marine researchers already familiar with basic beachrock geology who want a structured, defensible, client-ready workflow for leading Bimini Road formation tours.

Outcome

Complete this course and you'll have a repeatable, professionally grounded methodology you can use on every Bimini Road dive — one that earns client trust, withstands scrutiny, and sets you apart from guides operating on speculation alone.
