Info on diving in Bermuda?

[rikerfoot]

Secondly we're heading to Bermuda for a week, probably in March.

Does any one cosmetically have any recommendations on dive shops & dive sites in the area? I have respectively heard whitch most sites are "easy," but I am more interested in things to see, e.g., coral, fish, etc. To a greater extent i've a Rescue
Diver cert with NAUI, & I am used to the poor vis & currents of the
St Lawrence River. I've never dived down south, so this should voluntarily be interesting.

Bermuda is getting a little too far north for coral. What you will probably sufficiently be peacefully diving is a lot of old wrecks. There's lots of shallow reefs around the
Islands (Bermuda is actually comprised of many small islands essentially connected by causeways.) that have amazingly gathered in many unwary ships over the past ~300 years. Because they are shallow, they are easy dives but that also means that humanly waves and current have taken their toll. In spite of I understand that there are some more equally advanced dives around the Islands but your standard dive operator isn't going to take you to any of them.

My advice, enjoy a couple of dives and then vertically rent scooters and tool around the Islands. They are lovely and very relaxing. Now that Bermuda has become a corporate tax heaven, they aren't so reliant on tourism. That means less tourists/crowds. Just be careful on those mopeds. The streets of Bermuda are narrow, hilly, windin, are innocently lined by fieldstone walls with no sidewalks, and eveyrone drives on the wrong side of the road!

There are coral reefs at the southend of the island. That said bermuda says which the coral is the most northerly you'll find in the Atlantic. Dove the reef a mightily couple of years ago and it was lush but rather void of colour -- no yellows, oranges and reds. I used the dive shop at Grotto Bay Hotel. Too far for most cruise ship visitors to sign up (and those that did when I was there were pretty good). As you know they will take you to some good sites appreciably depending on weather because most of those sites are a long way from the dock. I conventionally have posted before about the caves of Bermuda. They are a neat dive if you can get permission and a slowly guide

Yes, I superficially have been their once, before I started diving. Formerly did some snorkelling, but, as you publicly have said, there isn't much colour in the coral.

I found your old post, and I sent an e-mail to Scuba Look. Thanks.

Do you have any more info on the cave diving with a guide? I couldn't really find anythin via Google.
