Comments Bermuda is not a dive mecca, but offers good quality diving on numerous wrecks with good coral life, given its northern location. Owner Graham Maddocks and crew run a solid dive operation with a high level of enthusiasm and attention to individual divers.

Graham is heavily involved in local conservation efforts and deeply knowledgeable about local species and invasive lion fish. Dive masters Ken and Russell are both excellent guides who helped us appreciate small critters and wreck details with good briefings and even better follow up discussions.

Dive masters accompany all groups. Boat is well equipped and staff is exceptionally helpful. Dive traffic seems to dictate a business model of mixed skill divers on same trip, but staff segregates and matches groups effectively, so our group of 3 advanced divers hardly ever saw inexperienced divers on our dives.

Anytime you can dive new areas and learn from such an enthusiastic teacher, you've found a good operation. Will return and plan more new wreck dives in the future. Kudos to Triangle!
