Snorkeling the Underwater World in Bermuda

   
Bermuda is a Snorkelers Paradise
Bermuda has the distinction of having the northernmost coral reefs in the world. Over millions of years, these coral reefs have formed from the waters edge to out over 15 miles from shore. This year Scuba Diving Magazine revealed that Divers voted Bermuda the best place in the Caribbean and Atlantic for snorkelling and third best for underwater wreck diving. "To many divers, the best reason to visit Bermuda is to dive the destination's historic shipwrecks spanning five centuries." Snorkelling guides and water sports companies know where the best spots are.

Hartley's Helmet Diving
Hartley’s Helmet Diving is Bermuda’s premier undersea walk. Greg Hartley, who’s family started helmet diving over 75 years ago, had his first dive at age 3. His friends, Stormin Norman the Snapper, Queen Latifa the Angelfish, Franklin the Goldentailed Moray, Gollum the Squirrelfish, E.T.Puffer and many more are all finning back and forth waiting for you. Their reef is just under 2 miles out, half way to the pristine waters of Bermuda’s barrier reef, yet only 10ft deep. Have your digital photo taken while holding Stormin. Great for all ages 5-85, meek or macho, certified or non-swimmers.
