TAIFUN (POSSIBLY) - North Shore
The wreck marked "Taifun (Possibly)" sits in a shallow pocket off Bermuda's North Shore, barely 5 meters deep. It’s a sailing vessel, broken but still retaining enough structure to give you a sense of its past. We’ve found barracuda often hang motionless near the keel, and schools of grunts dart in and out of the ribs. It's a relaxed dive, good for photographers keen on natural light or anyone looking for a simple, engaging wreck exploration without the pressure of depth or strong currents.
