Dive-site story
The Forceful is a retired harbor tugboat intentionally scuttled off the southwestern coast of Bermuda to create an artificial reef. Resting upright on a white sand plain near scattered patch reefs, the wreck remains structurally intact and provides a sanctuary for schooling Atlantic fish. Divers can circle the exterior hull, inspect the open deck machinery, and peer into the wheelhouse without complex interior penetration.
