Hartley's Undersea Walk |
|
|
Greg Hartley generally runs two helmet diving boat tours daily, the first one at 9:30am and the next one at 1:30pm from his base at the dockyard in Sandys Parish.
Their 40-foot dive boat, called the Rainbow Runner, has a spacious cabin, bathroom, changing room and shower. It's a glass-bottom boat, so the divers can get a great view of the underwater world.
This great Bermuda helmet diving adventure is on the sandy bottom in 10 feet of turquoise water, between coral reefs and waving sea fans.

You can see parrotfish among the corals just few feet away. You can easily hand feed the beautiful angelfish. The whole trip typically lasts for about 3˝ hours with about 25-30 minutes spent underwater. They take a group of 5-6 together underwater and there would be typically 4 to 5 such groups. So once the boat reaches the site, each group goes under the water in turn, while others await their turn on board the boat.

Since Greg and his team have been helmet diving on the same reef for year, the fishes have become quite used to them. You may be a bit surprised to see that Greg has actually made friends with many of the marine creatures.
Under the water, divers get introduced to fish such as Oliver the Grey Snapper or Charles the Hogfish.
