Located close to the opening of Castle Harbour, Bermuda’s original port entrance. The Cathedral is a series of breaker reefs, which come together and create a number of vast caves, overhangs and canyons. The larger of these caverns is somewhat Cathedral like!! The Cathedral is a popular hiding place for schools of Snappers and Margate. This is also home to a school of enormous Ocean Tarpon.

During the spring vast schools of Parrot Fish cruise this area. A phenomenon common to Bermuda, but not heard of anywhere else in the Western Hemisphere other than Bermuda.

Depths vary from the shallows in shore of the breaker wall at 15ft. to around 55ft. on the ocean side of The Cathedral. Navigation is difficult. It’s very to get "turned around" in the many canyons and caverns although the actual area of the site is quiet compact, care must be taken to not head off in the wrong direction. The closest land mass to the South is Tortola!!!!

Keep your eyes open for the massive and very inquisitive Tarpon. Dig in the sand and these guys will come and see what it is your looking for. They are calm and very approachable but make for horrendous difficulty if trying flash photography due to their "foil wrap" appearance.

A flashlight is a handy extra to have with you. Many caves, cracks and crevices are home to Lobster and Crabs. Look out for the Spanish Slipper Lobsters in the shallow sand areas.

REMEMBER.... THE REEF IS FRAGILE! PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH OR TREAD ON LIVING CORAL.
