LARTINGTON

The Lartington, resting in just 10 metres of water off Bermuda’s North Shore, is a real favourite of ours for a relaxed dive. She was a 75-metre freighter that went down in 1879, and time has definitely taken its toll, but that’s part of her charm. We love how her iron bones are scattered across the seabed, creating these fantastic nooks and crannies for marine life. You’ll spend your dive weaving through crumpled plates of steel and massive boiler sections, all encrusted with sponges and soft corals. Look for the schools of Bermuda chub that swirl around the larger pieces, and we often spot green moray eels tucked into the darker recesses. It’s a site that really suits anyone comfortable navigating around a broken wreck; there’s no penetration, just plenty of open exploration. We’d suggest going at high tide for the best visibility, which tends to average 15-20 metres here on a good day. It’s a gentle drift over history, with plenty to discover without pushing any limits.
