The North East Breakers are a group of boiler reefs on the outer edge of Bermuda's reef platform, north-east of the main island and close to the northern approaches used by shipping. Like the rest of the outer rim they have caught many ships over the centuries, and the buoyed dive site is really a cluster of historic wreck sites.
The remains here include the 18th-century Manilla Wreck, wreckage associated with the Eagle, a Virginia Company ship lost in 1659, and the anchor and chain of the steamer Prince David, which ran aground in March 1932 and was later refloated. The Danish collier Taunton (1920) was also lost on these breakers and has its own buoy a little to the west.
A shallow, exposed reef dive on the outer rim, best on calm days. Expect coral-topped breakers, gullies and patches of pink sand, with old cannon, ballast and the coral-covered Prince David anchor chain to look for. The Bermuda 100 project notes some of Bermuda's most concentrated pink sand around the wreck area.
It suits divers of most levels in good conditions, but it is a long boat ride out and surge can be strong over the breakers.
