Bathed by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, but well outside the confines of the Caribbean, this coral reef-fringed island is located 650 miles west of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Drenched in history as well as stunning beaches and resorts, the surrounding waters are home to over 400 shipwrecks, some centuries old, that met their demise on Bermuda's extensive reef system. Bermuda's exclusive Shipwreck Certificate program allows divers to take home a bit of history in exchange for supporting their "hands-off" policies protected by law.
