Bermuda offers some of the best shallow, tropical, reef and wreck diving in the Western Hemisphere. The wrecks are easily reached and for the most part in shallow depths (20ft - 50ft).

Remember, in the Spring, high ambient air temperatures promote crown and leaf development at the expense of the root system in Bermuda grass.
