Bimini Undersea is the product of over 20 years of work by Bill and Nowdla Keefe and we are proud to be continuing their legacy. Nowdla and Bill first met in Freeport on Grand Bahama Island back in 1981 when Bill came to the island to work as a SCUBA Instructor for the Underwater Explorer's Society (UNEXSO).

Nowdla, who's parents moved to the island from Canada in the early 60's was born and raised on the island and also worked part time for UNEXSO as a dive guide and eventually, a divemaster/boat captain.

In 1984, while Nowdla was completing her undergraduate studies in Miami, Bill moved on from Freeport and accepted a position on the island of Bimini with Bimini Undersea Adventures. Following graduation, Nowdla joined Bill on Bimini where the couple went on to manage the operation for then owner Neal Watson. Bill and Nowdla married in late 1986 and took over as owner/operators Bimini Undersea in April of 1987.

Over the years, the Keefe's and Bimini Undersea became known as one of the best small, family run diving operations in the resort diving industry. At the same time, Bimini's reputation as a world class diving destination just 50 miles off the Florida coast continued to spread. The operation became a favorite among divers who returned to Bimini again and again. Not only for the outstanding diving, but also for the safe, professional, yet casual and comfortable atmosphere the dive guests experienced aboard Nowdla's and Bill's trips.

In 1995, Nowdla brought a whole new experience to guests of Bimini Undersea: The Wild Dolphin Adventure. After first discovering the existence of a resident pod of Wild Atlantic Spotted Dolphins north of the island in early 1995, she began organizing trips allowing people the opportunity to view, swim, and interact with these amazing creatures, in their environment and on their terms. Today Bimini is recognized as one of the few places in the world where people can have this experience.

Bill and Nowdla lived on Bimini with their 2 daughters, Shannon and Kaila until early 2011 when they were presented with an opportunity they couldn't turn down. Now you can find the Keefe's in Fiji where they are managing Namale Resort and truly loving life. Visit them at www.namalefiji.com.
