DIVE SHOPS

THE BERMUDA 100 CHALLENGE

All four major dive shops in Bermuda have agreed to partner with the Bermuda 100 Challenge. They will host students from UC San Diego as well as project divers in Bermuda working on photogrammetry of the wrecks on a pro bono basis. The dive shops will also collaborate on the development of dive guides and a new curriculum for a future dive photogrammetry specialization.
