You will be considered uncertified and will require a lesson and will be limited to a maximum depth of 30ft and will be guided throughout.

Can I go deep diving?

Can I go into the wreck (penetration diving)?

There are several artificial reef sites on in Bermuda that allow for penetration. The majority of wrecks are historic and broke up at the time of sinking.
