hi all,
we will be in Bermuda for 3 days late September. We'll be staying in b&b in south hampton parish (greene's guesthouse). scuba is not primary reason for the trip but we'd like to dive. we've been going back and forth with the decision on whether to dive 2 days, 1 day or just snorkel and save money for a destination more known for scuba diving. i think we finally decided to do one 2-tank dive. Dive Bermuda is conveniently located 3 min away from b&b, and most people gave great reviews of the place.
we intend to rent a scooter and bring our own fins, masks and snorkels. my wife's interest in scuba/snorkeling is to see beautiful marine life (fishes and corals).
i have a few questions:
1. what are the best snorkeling sites (reachable from the shore)? i've read that tobacco bay (in st.george), snorkeling place (close to navy dockyard), church bay are good.
can anyone mention the highlights from their experience, please.
2. for those of you who dove many wrecks, if you only had to dive one what would that be? Hermes is the most popular site. it is worth it?
3. what restaurant for dinner with romantic atmosphere, beautiful view for the sunset and great food would you recommend? ideally should not have a dress code.
Thank you in advance.
