Forceful - North Shore

The **Forceful** wreck on Bermuda’s North Shore is a favourite of ours for a reason. It's not a deep dive, sitting at just 12 metres, but that shallow depth means sunlight drenches the wreck, painting everything in shades of blue and green. We love how the light plays off the collapsed superstructure, illuminating nooks where grunt and snapper congregate. This was a tugboat, sunk deliberately in 1948, and over the decades, the ocean has taken it back. You’ll find its remains fairly spread out now, but the distinct bow and stern sections are still identifiable, offering plenty to explore. Look for the prop shaft, usually a good spot to find a large moray eel peeking out. Around the wreckage, schools of sergeant majors flutter nervously, and parrotfish graze on the coral growth. We'd suggest going on a calm morning; the visibility really shines then, letting you appreciate the wreck's skeletal beauty. It’s a superb dive for newer wreck divers or photographers wanting to play with ambient light.
