Snorkeling
Instructor Dakota boarding Narcosis
If the idea of seeing blue parrotfish, four-eyed butterflyfish, sergeant majors, wrasses and many other species of fish gliding around the beautiful corals and sea fans appeals to you then a snorkel trip may be just what you are looking for. With some of the healthiest corals in the world, you will see a flourishing ecosystem below the waves.
On the more rare occasions, those who are fortunate may also spot moray eels, octopi, puddingwives and urchins thriving within the reefs. Have a look at Bermuda’s Fish to find out more about the different species of fish seen in Bermuda’s turquoise waters.

For those interested in exploring further out, why not join us on our dive boat, Narcosis, for a trip to one of the many shallow reefs? During the summer season the trip departs every afternoon from the beach at the Grotto Bay Resort. Check-in is at 1:30pm daily, weather permitting, returning at 4:30pm. The boat will visit a shallow reef site with our beginner divers and makes for an ideal snorkeling destination.
You must be able to swim and be comfortable in open water. We are happy to provide you with noodles to happily float around at the surface. Minimum age is 8 years old, we would like to let our snorkelers know that you will be on the same boat as scuba divers and you will not be able to touch the bottom so please only book in if you are comfortable swimming in the ocean.
We usually visit North Rock as our snorkel site which is roughly 45 minutes away by boat.
**PLEASE NOTE - Snorkeling in the afternoon is extremely weather dependent. We make the decision each day at 11:00am as to whether or not that day's wind and water conditions would allow for a comfortable and enjoyable experience for our snorkelers.
