 Bermuda's
Pink Beaches
Bermuda's Natural Colours (colors)
Our pink beaches are actually formed by the skeletal
remains of a small creature called the red foram found on the undersides
of rocks. Because Bermuda doesn't have any rivers carrying sediments
into the sea, our surrounding waters lack nutrients. Our shallows
are turquoise in color because phytoplankton levels here are low as a
result of reduced nutrient intensities. This lack of phytoplankton
and the clear seas permit the sun's rays to be reflected off the shallow
sandy bottom, giving our waters their famous turquoise hue. |

 Bermuda
is one of the most beautiful islands in the world and offers some amazing
diving opportunities. Bermuda is an island in the Atlantic Ocean 650
miles west of Hilton Head, South Carolina. The island is not
actually in the Caribbean which is a common misconception. Bermuda
is situated directly in the gulf stream which blows
all that nice warm Caribbean air
 north,
right at our island. We are 33 square miles of land situated amongst
several connected islands. Very narrow and only 21 miles long, you
will be surprised to find that we proclaim 300 sq miles of dive-able reefs
that are home to more than 350 wrecks and thousands
of species of fish and countless other marine/aquatic life.
