Dive-site story
Wrecked on North Rock reef in 1936, this Spanish luxury liner remains Bermuda's largest shipwreck. The massive vessel was later bombed in military target practice, scattering machinery, structural steel, and personal fittings across the coral heads. Navigation requires keeping track of landmarks across an extensive debris field, where intact steam turbines, propeller shafts, and deck winches sit among shallow gullies and sand channels.
Expansive debris field stretching across the outer reef system
Enormous boilers, iron fittings, and deck hardware encrusted in hard corals
Shallow depth profile that allows ample bottom time for exploring the wreckage
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
