Bermuda Coral Reef - Watch Hill Park
Watch Hill Park is just to the west of John Smith's Bay in Smith's Parish. Typically one can dive from the shore and access the reef site. You also have the option of taking a boat up to the diving point. The massive boiler reefs that are the focus of this site come to within inches of the surface. These sheer vertical walls of coral, limestone and fossils of worms form arches and overhangs. There is a maze of tunnels and swim-throughs in the reef. You can find lush soft corals here.
Maximum depths here can be up to 50 feet and the tops of the breakers as shallow as 5 feet or less. There is no defined path around this site. The best is to circle the massive coral heads.
Look out for huge Groupers and the occasional Turtles. This is always a great place to find shells and the ever present Leopard flat worms. For maximum enjoyment, I would suggest that you take advantage of guided dives. The site holds lots of secrets that only a frequent diver or a dive master will know about.
