The Cathedral

The Cathedral is Bermuda's most celebrated natural reef dive, a complex of interconnected caverns, arches, and swim-throughs carved from the limestone platform along the south shore where light floods in from multiple openings in cascading blue-green rays that justify the name. Sergeant majors and chromis fill the space above the cavern roof while the interior walls are carpeted in orange sponges, black coral trees, and crystalline hydroids. The site transitions from a shallow terrace rich in lobster and moray eels into a deeper wall section at 25 metres where gorgonian sea fans exceed a metre in span.
