Bermuda

Bermuda

Bermuda is an isolated North Atlantic archipelago ringed by an extensive coral reef platform that has wrecked ships for centuries, making it one of the world's most noted shipwreck-diving destinations.

Bermuda rises from the Bermuda Platform, with more than 150 limestone islands. The surrounding reef system has historically both sheltered the islands from storms and posed a hazard to shipping, most famously wrecking the flagship Sea Venture in 1609. Divers today can reach numerous wrecks and coral reef sites in relatively shallow water, typically 9-12 metres, with the National Museum of Bermuda documenting dozens of individual wreck sites since 1978.
