The Bridge

The Bridge, formerly known as Simpson Bay's Bridge, is a refuge for aquatic life and ideal for beginners and intermediate divers. Dive down 50 feet to locate the bridge's ruins, as well as the artificial reefs created by a few boats that were intentionally sunk. Following Hurricane Irma, a vessel that served as a popular floating bar was added to the artificial reef lineup.

Swimming around the pillars of the bridge is a great way to see starfish, urchins, eels, sea turtles, and stingrays. There's a chance you'll see a reef shark swimming nearby. Furthermore, the artificial reefs that surround these sunk buildings act as the island's coral nursery, bringing life to the island's devastated coral reefs.

Because the bridge isn't very large, a group of diving schools banded together and scuttled numerous boats there as well. Underwater, the mixture creates an oasis of life. It just so happens that this is also where our coral nursery is located. Our 'Acropora' coral fragments have been moved from the damaged coral nursery to their new home here.
