Grotto Bay scuba diving - a reason for your vacation
Come and enjoy world class diving in the shipwreck capital of the Atlantic. Every day there is a two tank reef and wreck dive. On the first dive you will be guided by one of the professional dive masters on one of Bermuda’s 300 shipwrecks. During your short surface interval the boat will move to the second dive site where you will hop back into the warm clear water on one of our amazing reef sites. On the reef dive you will experience Bermuda’s diverse underwater landscape filled with canyons and giant swim throughs. You will also see a large variety of healthy corals and tropical fish species. Pre-requirement: Must be a CERTIFIED diver! Discover Scuba Diving (2 Tanks Dive) - This diving course is designed especially for people who want to experience the wonders of scuba diving but have no experience. Every afternoon we offer a lesson and dive, which consist of a short lecture explaining the basics of scuba diving. Then we take you in the bay right off the beach and teach you a few skills that get you comfortable with the scuba equipment. Finally we take you out to one of Bermuda’s beautiful reef sites and take you for a dive. To sign up just give us a call or e-mail us and we will be happy to assist with any further questions. Pre-requirements: NONE. Night Dive - Experience a bit of Bermuda’s nightlife under the water! We offer night dives every two weeks on Wednesday’s starting in June and ending in October. The night dive is a one tank dive on one of Bermuda’s wrecks. You will enjoy seeing a different variety of fish and underwater life then on one of our daytime dives. Pre-requirements: Must be a CERTIFIED diver! Dive among the many shipwrecks of the area, like the Iristo. The Iristo was a most unlucky ship, wrecked because of another shipwreck. Unfamiliar with Bermuda reefs, her captain was surprised by the sight of the wreck of the Cristobal Colon and ordered his ship turned away. The course change caused the Iristo to crash into a submerged reef and subsequently sink in 1937. The Iristo, a 250 foot (76 meters) Norwegian freighter, was carrying a cargo of gasoline drums, a free engine and steamroller. Points of interest include the engine, boilers, propeller shaft, propeller and the fire engine. Depth range: 15-50 feet (4-15 meters). The Kate was a 200-foot (60-meters) English Brigantine Rig with an iron prorpeller, this iron steamer was en route from Galveston, Taxes to Le Havre, France when she struck a reef 22 miles (35 kilometres) northwest of Gibbs Hill Lighthouse on December 1, 1878. All the crew was saved, as was her cargo of 3,500 bales of cotton. The Captain was found at fault and had his license revoked. Today she sits on a reef off Tucker's Town Beach in 45 feet (13 meters) of water, with her boilers, engine, propeller shaft and deck winches still visible.
