Bermuda Coral Reefs - Smugglers Notch
This is one of the favorite reef sites for the divers. This reef site, located on the south side of Bermuda, is made of a series of reef breakers. These breakers are very close together, creating caves, tunnels and arches.
In the past, smugglers used this reef area to hide the contrabands in the many caves that are part of the reef. No treasure remains though.
Located between the Southampton Princess Hotel and The Sonesta Beach Hotel, this reef site has a depth range of 20 feet to 50 feet. The massive selections of Anemones, the flowery plants that are found here will make any Caribbean resort jealous - an amazingly diverse selection of colors and sizes.
Schools of Snappers, Blues, Queens and Angel fish that are unique to Bermuda can be seen here. The tunnels and overhangs providing cover for Glass eyed Sweepers and Lobsters. The shallows are coated with masses of Purple Sea fans, home to many Flamingo Tongues. Look for the Trumpet Fish hiding on the backs of Groupers. Many Golden Chain and Spotted Eels are also relatively easy to find. You should take a guided tour due to the complex nature of this site.
