Also available from Pisces: Shipwreck diving guides and a selection of underwater technique and nature books.Bathed in the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, Bermuda offers a stunning array of lush coral reefs, mini drop-offs. and caverns for divers and snorkelers to explore. More notable than these natural attractions, however, are its shipwrecks. Bermuda has the most divable (in number and accessibility) shipwrecks in the Western Hemisphere, spanning five centuries of nautical history. Divers can explore the 16th-century Spanish treasure galleons, 18th-century warships, and 20th-century freighters that dot the islands' reefs, lagoons, and shoals. At some sites wrecks are almost piled on top of each other, allowing divers to explore multiple wrecks on the same dive. Underwater visibility is usually an impressive 180-300 feet on the outer reefs. This full-color guide describes 35 of the most popular, varied, and interesting dive sites within the main Bermuda island group, and gives specific information on dive expertise required, typical current conditions, average depth range, and access.
