About The Cristobal Colon

The Cristobal Colon is a major Bermuda wreck dive on the north shore reef edge. Its long liner profile and protected setting make it a classic boat dive for divers who want historic structure, reef growth, and a slower look at a big wreck rather than a quick shallow hit. It is best planned as a guided wreck session in settled water, with the boat ride shaping the day more than any shore approach. Expect a serious but accessible Bermuda wreck dive, not a casual swim-off-the-beach outing.
