Boat-accessed Bermuda wreck on a reef, shallow enough for newer divers but best on calm water with close surface control.
About The Lartington
The Lartington is a shallow historic steam freighter wreck on Bermuda’s reef that makes an easy-to-read boat dive. The bow, boilers, stern, and propeller are scattered along a short route, with reef growth and tropical fish filling the gaps between the wreck pieces. It is best dived on a calm window because much of the site sits very shallow and the main planning issue is surface chop, not depth. Use a local operator and keep the route tidy rather than trying to roam the whole site.
