Hermes

The Hermes ship rests 69 feet below sea level just one mile off Horseshoe Bay on Bermuda's south beaches and is one of the Dive Sites in Bermuda. In 1984, the ship was scuttled one mile off Bermuda's south shore to be utilized as an artificial reef for scuba divers. This 50-meter wreck was built for the US Navy as a buoy tender in 1943, but she broke down on the voyage to Cape Verde. She was abandoned in Bermuda and sold for one dollar to the Bermuda Dive Association (BDA). Her hatches were removed before she was sunk, allowing for easy access and safe passage for divers.

Hermes was sunk at a depth of 21-23 meters below sea level. If you're a budding photographer, this diving spot is a photographer's dream. The cargo hold, personnel rooms, and engine rooms can all be explored. This wreck is surrounded by a lovely reef where Yellowtail, Grey Snapper, and schools of Barracuda may often be found.
