10. Explore Bermuda’s Ship Wrecks

Bermuda is known as the shipwreck capitol of the world, thanks to the barrier reefs surrounding our island that made it a nightmare for sailors back in the day whose navigational technology was less advanced. Over 300 ships (and counting) lay sunken in Bermuda’s waters, and today, many of them are popular scuba diving sites, but those without a PADI can learn about these fascinating wrecks at the National Museum of Bermuda in Dockyard, an award-winning museum dedicated to Bermuda’s maritime history and culture. The Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute (aka BUEI or Ocean Discovery Centre) also has a fantastic exhibit on the Bermuda Triangle that offers a number of plausible theories for those more mysterious cases.
