Dive Bermuda had the opportunity to take Nadia Aly, founder of Scuba Diver Life, out diving on our pristine reef and famous ship wrecks. This captivating video shows her exploring Bermuda from both below and above. She visits Crystal & Fantasy Caves which is only minutes away from us here at Grotto Bay.

"Bermuda hosts British flare with island soul" ... we couldn't have said it better ourselves Nadia!

Experts tell us this is a Banner Blenny, which apparently is quite rare to find here in Bermuda. This little guy has taken up residence on the Niobe Corinthian wreck.

You are such a champion and we really enjoyed working with you. See you on the weekends!! :) xo #divebermudagrottobay #diveintern #thankyou #scuba #diving

Hunting #invasive Lionfish on dive site, Cathedral. Did you know that yesterday our sister store @divebermuda dissected the stomach contents of one of these fish and found 30 juvenille reef fish (most likely parrotfish) and 1 shrimp... In ONE Lionfish. This is why our instructors are always carrying spears on the dives to try and give our local NATIVE marine life a fighting chance. Ask us how you can join the fight against this beautiful but disastrous invasive fish! #divebermudagrottobay #divebermuda #diving #lionfishhunter #spear #scuba
“I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to experience the Grotto Bay Discovery Dive out to North Rock

From start to finish it was an incredible experience including the tuition, skills session and then our dive itself. I was amazed at how much we got to see and do in just an afternoon.

The team at Grotto Bay were fantastic, really professional and adapted to the needs of the group. Especially when I was struggling with ear pressure they were calm and got me down - thanks especially to Robyn.”
