About The Darlington

The Darlington is a shallow Bermuda wreck dive on the western reef. The iron steamer sits in only a few meters of water, so it works as a classic boat dive with an easy read on the wreck, reef growth, and surrounding shallows. It is better for a measured wreck tour and close inspection than for a deep technical objective. The site's protected status and shallow profile make it one of Bermuda's more approachable historic wrecks.
