Дайв-сайты: Western Bermuda

Both wrecks sit in remarkably shallow water, between 10 and 15 metres depth. This makes them accessible to divers of all levels, including those on introductory dives. The shallow depth also means extended bottom times and plenty of natural light for photography. Some sections are even visible from the surface on calm days.

Author Peter Benchley dove on the Constellation wreck while visiting Bermuda and was inspired by its cargo of medicine bottles and amphorae. The wreck and the surrounding reef became the basis for his 1976 novel 'The Deep,' later adapted into a feature film. The real wreck, a wooden-hulled schooner that sank in 1943, still has remnants of its cargo scattered across the seabed.

While scuba diving provides the best experience, skilled freedivers and snorkelers can see portions of the wrecks from the surface on very calm days, as the shallowest parts sit at around 10 metres. However, most visitors scuba dive the site to appreciate the details up close. The shallow depth makes this an excellent site for discover scuba divers making their first ocean dive.
