Bermuda is one of the world's most desirable dive-adventure
destinations, with hundreds of easy-to-explore shipwrecks
and beautiful coral reefs surrounding the island.
Since the 16th century, several hundred vessels have
met their unfortunate fate on Bermuda's jagged fringing
reefs (which extend outward up to eight miles). Diving
in Bermuda is like stepping into a time machine and opening
a window to a past life on the high seas complete with
pirate tales, naval battles and fierce storms. By diving
in this underwater museum without walls, you will travel
an incredible timeline that carries you from the era of
Spanish treasure galleons and 18th century British warships
to Civil War blockade runners and the dawn of luxury trans-Atlantic
passenger liners. Bermuda's wreck collection spans more
than five centuries with vessels originating from 15 different
countries.
Since the wrecks lie in relatively shallow water (45-50
feet on average), Bermuda is one of the most accessible
diving locations in the world. Best of all, there's no
special advanced certification required to enjoy Bermuda
underwater. While the historic shipwrecks are truly the
highlight of any Bermuda dive experience, the Island also
boasts a diverse reef system complete with swim-through
caves, coral gardens and more than 650 species of colorful
marine life.
Pompano is located only a five minute drive from Blue
Water Divers - considered the island's top scuba diving
operation (click here for our
scuba diving package rates in conjunction with Blue Water
Divers). The resort offers complimentary shuttle van
transportation to/from Blue Water Divers on a daily basis.
