Affordable diving and snorkeling in Bermuda
There are few places in the world which offer easier access, diving spots from the beach itself and marveling at underwater shipwrecks while snorkeling in 25 feet deep water.
Another key feature are the clear waters which have a visibility of 80 feet during summers and the warm 28 degree C temperature in the peak season. Plus the high salt density gives extra buoyancy to divers and makes swimming easy.
In Bermuda, all the diving and snorkeling is usually done from dive boats which depart during the summers from the beach of the Grotto Bay Resort.
The boat visits shallow reef sites, such as North Rock, that are suitable for both beginners and experts which make them an ideal snorkeling destination.
A 3.5 hours combined diving and snorkeling package allows you to get a window seat of the undersea world, even if you have no previous experience.

After your extensive practice in shallow water, you then move further offshore to a guided dive on a coral reef to get a glimpse of the stunning underwater marine life.
Here you will encounter schools of colorful tropical fish swimming around you and through the openings in the coral reefs.
