I was there last October. Most of the diving is shallow and the big deal is wrecks - 58 of them I think, spanning a couple of centuries. Last year they had a program than gave you a certificate for each wreck you dove.
I dove with two different operators, and watched the operation of a third. Didn't seem to see much difference among them if you are only doing a couple of days of diving.
Bermuda is a bit expensive compared to most dive locations in my experience. And you can't rent a car - only mopeds. The dive operators are not allowed to transport you from residence to shop, so go for whoever is closest to you and take the bus or a cab. I did it on moped, but it gets a bit tricky balancing the dive gear.
There is no shore diving.
By the way, it is the only place that I discovered "treasure" on a wreck. I found a 14K gold ring that has been appraised at $600 US. I also found a mask, a golf ball, a snorkel and a weight belt in various dives there. People seem to be careless.

But then again, what do I know?

Has anybody been to Bermuda?
We will be there next week (7-21-03), and should be able to dive at least two days.
Any tips, suggestions, or favorite dive spots? Which is the best dive shop?
