About Iristo/Aristo
Iristo/Aristo is a compact Bermuda wreck dive with a shallow bow, an upright hull, and coral-encrusted wreckage that still shows the engine, boilers, and other hardware. It reads more like a clear wreck tour than a long swim, so the site is easy to orient once the boat drops you on it. Calm water is the best fit because the profile stays readable even on a short dive.

Local Intel For Iristo/Aristo
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Plan a short wreck loop around the upright hull and visible machinery. The bow is shallow enough to read easily, while the rest of the wreck gives the site its shape.
Freediving
The shallow profile makes it tempting, but the wreck is better as a scuba site if you want the full structure and coral detail.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling can work in Bermuda wreck country, but this site is better treated as a boat dive with scuba because the interesting structure sits below the surface.
