Why dive here
With 328+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins and eagle rays - CORINTHIAN offers some of North Shore's richest wreck diving.
We’ve always had a soft spot for the Corinthian. It’s a good example of what makes Bermuda wrecks so compelling, even if it's not the deepest. Lying in just 20m, this 53-meter steel freighter offers a decent amount to explore without pushing your no-decompression limits. The Corinthian went down in 1918, during a nasty storm, and she’s now well-integrated into the reef, a proper artificial reef for over a century. We love dropping down onto the bow first. You can still make out the anchor chains draped across the deck, and the open cargo holds are just begging for a peek. Schools of grunts and snapper often hang around the deeper sections of the hull, and we’ve seen plenty of spiny lobsters tucked into crevices. Keep an eye out for moray eels too; they’re often peeking from under plating. Visibility here can vary, but on a good day, the light plays beautifully through the superstructure, giving it an eerie, almost cathedral-like feel. It's a great choice for divers who appreciate history and don't mind a shallower wreck with plenty of character. Our favourite time to dive it is mid-morning, just as the sun gets high enough to really illuminate the wreck.
