Visited Comments
December 2006 Bermuda was a very expensive island and generally very wealthy. You sometimes thought that the need for tourism was an after thought. I dived two very shallow wrecks with Blue Water divers, the first was the Blanche King (a timber boat carrying coal - max. depth 8m) and the second the Dartington which was a tramp steamer (Max depth 7m). Loads of fish over the wrecks. I was superised that the visibilty was not better.

September 2005 I don't agree with Jeepsters comments. Bermuda is an expensive Island but the service is fantastic and the peopl very friendly. The diving around the East and North of the Island is great. There are so many wrecks and a couple of greast coral sites, such as North Rock and The Cathedral. I dived with Trianglre Diving During my stay who were very professional but also fun and relaxed.

July 1999 If you like shallow wrecks, Bermuda is the place to go. Blue Water Divers is the best operator on the island (at least when I was there), but that is not saying much - none of them were up to the standards of shops on GC or Coz interms of customer service. I'd skip Nautilus and Fantasea. Bermuda is very, very expensive, so try to get a package deal if you go. I loved the wrecks, but didn't like the cost or the service I got just about everywhere. Not much coral at all, but plenty of fish on the wrecks, and easy diving for wreck diving beginners.

Wreck Dives:

Here are the wreck dives we know of for Bermuda Island.

Cristobal Colon
Bermuda’s largest shipwreck, the 499-foot long Cristobal Colon, a transatlantic luxury liner that crashed into the reef in 1936. During the Second World War, US Navy fighter pilots conducted training missions using the Cristobal for target practice, blowing most of her to pieces and finally breaking her back across the reef to which she had succumbed and splitting her in two.
5m / 16ft
26m / 85ft
Accidental sinking: 01-Jan-1936 Wreck penetration not possible Technical or decompression diving. More info...

Lartington
This 245ft cargo ship, carrying cotton from Savannah to Russia, was struck by a hurricane, then a storm and diverted to Bermuda for repairs. As the Lartington approached the island, it struck reefs just 5 miles out. Her bow and stern sections are intact and her twin steam boilers and propeller are visible.
8m / 26ft
10m / 33ft
Accidental sinking: 01-Jan-1878 Wreck penetration not possible Technical or decompression diving. More info...

Mary Celestia
The Marie Celeste was a blockade runner that hit reefs off Bermudas south shore on September 6th, 1864 only eight months after being launched. She was well built and very fast, equipped with twin oscillating cylinder steam engines and feathering paddlewheels. Carrying 534 boxes labelled "General Merchandise" - actually ammunition and rifles - she sank in just 8 minutes after hitting a reef as she left the island. Part of her bow is visible, as are her two huge boilers and her paddlewheels.
12m / 39ft
16m / 52ft
Accidental sinking: 06-Sep-1864 Wreck penetration not possible Technical or decompression diving. More info...

Minnie Breslauer
The Minnie Breslauer sank on her maiden voyage when her captain misjudged Bermudas reefs while passing the island en route from Portugal to New York. The huge boiler, propeller and rudder of the 300ft steel hulled English steamer are clearly visible.
11m / 36ft
23m / 75ft
Accidental sinking: 01-Jan-1873 Wreck penetration not possible Technical or decompression diving. More info...

The Hermes
A 165-foot steel-hulled freighter built during World War II, The Hermes is a popular wreck dive because it stands upright in eighty feet of crystal clear water. In 1984, long after her military service was over, the ship arrived in Bermuda as a Panamanian registered freighter with engine trouble. Repairs were estimated to cost far more than the ship was worth, so she was soon abandoned by the crew and thus became an artificial reef one mile off Bermuda’s southern shores.
20m / 66ft
26m / 85ft
Deliberately sunk: 01-Jul-1984 Wreck penetration is possible. Technical or decompression diving. More info...
