Bermuda is the “wreck capital of the Atlantic”, with over 300 wreck sites to explore and was named number 2 in the Caribbean and Atlantic for wreck diving by Scuba Diving Magazine. Within minutes of our beach there are many intact and historic wreck sites dotted along the shoreline at depths ranging from 30 to 70 feet of crystal clear waters. Our world-class reef sites are full of aquatic life including grouper, barracuda, spiny lobster, parrotfish, and stunning blue angelfish.

Dive Bermuda had the opportunity to take Nadia Aly, founder of Scuba Diver Life out diving on our pristine reef and famous ship wrecks above our custom boat, Narcosis. This captivating video shows her exploring Bermuda from both below and above. She explores one of our most popular wreck sites, Hermes.

"Bermuda hosts British flare with island soul" ... we couldn't have said it better ourselves Nadia!

On this day in 1864 the infamous blockade runner Mary Celestia went down under mysterious circumstances. This paddle steamer was considered one of the fastest ships at the time with a maximum speed of 17 knots.
One of the conspiracies involves the Bermudian pilot John Virgin who is rumoured to have deliberately driven her into the breaker reefs on the south shore. Travelling at 13 knots it took her 8 minutes to sink with only one casualty; the chef.

In 2011 strong storms revealed a wooden box in the bow, inside was found wine, perfume, combs and other trinkets. The perfume was remade by @lilibermuda in 2014 with the wine being sampled during the 150 year celebration in the United States.
One of our most famous wrecks with the paddle wheels still intact, watch the video by @weldonwade for some insight into one of Bermuda’s most famous wrecks! •

Bermudian Wreck History: September 7th, 1915 the captured German built naval steamer Pollockshields sunk off Elbow Beach on the South Shore.
With a crew of 37 and a cargo of 350 tonnes of ammunition including shells, gun powder and provisions for World War 1.
The steamer ran into a dense fog and hurricane force seas on September 2nd, five days later the fog lifted to reveal to the sailors how close they were to the treacherous Bermudian reefs.

Only one casualty, the Captain Earnest Booth did not return from a search below decks for more life jackets for his crew.
The following pictures show the successful rescue of the crew with five trips made out to the Pollockshields in a single whaleboat.
Her final resting place is in 20 to 40 feet of water with loads of live ammunition and shells visible to snorkelers and scuba divers. •

“I have to say Dive Bermuda far exceeded my expectations when it comes to dive shops. From the minute I walked in the door I was welcomed by a friendly staff as well as dive instructors. Each day it got better and better. Just want to thank the Captain’s of the dive boat, instructors, staff for making this one of the best dive trips I ever been on.

I can’t say enough good things about Dive Bermuda and highly recommend this dive shop. I’m really looking forward for a return trip to Bermuda for lots more great diving. ”
