Comments	Triangle is near the causeway that joins St. George to the rest of Bermuda; they are working to garner the business for the northern end of the islands. They pick up and drop off to the cruise boat dock at St. George -- we learned this after cabbing to their office. Their boat was old and not a great setup for scuba (one ladder, extra long, for a SNUBA-style hard-hat bottom walk that they and some other Bermuda operations offer to non divers), but the staff were working hard to make the dive experience a good one. We dived our own gear, but observed minor repairs done instantly to their rental gear. Dives were in afternoon, and first was a shallow reef at the northern corner of the whole Bermuda reef system. Nice healthy coal, but limited species so far from the equator. Basically coral heads forming a maze around a modest blue hole. Second was on the wreck of a dredge, scuttled around 1900. The locals just didn't need the boat any more and did a good job of sendng it down to 80 feet, standing upright and opened up enough for non-hardcore-wreckers to swim through. It had been there long enough to grow some brain coral on it and was especially glorious in the blue-lipped tunicates that formed fist-sized clusters in many places on the upper surfaces and edges. Viz was clouded by rough wind so swimming down the mooring to the wreck and keep it in sight was the only reasonable nav for this dive. Bermuda's massive reef system has been wrecking boats since humans got the technology to sail there, and it is still at work. Seeing these is the reason to dive here -- it is not the sparkling clear water and creature zoo of the beter Carib sites. Triangle is serving the northern sites well, and the hurricanes lurking to the south and east when we were there (18-22 Sept 06) made the north the only game in town.
