For Whom the Bell Tolls—Wreckers and Mine Divers!

Bell Island in Newfoundland is a unique scuba diving destination that offers both wreck and mine diving. The area has several well-preserved shipwrecks from World War II, including the SS Saganaga and SS Rose Castle, where divers can see intact artifacts. The island also features the world’s largest submarine iron ore mine, with extensive diveable passages and historical artifacts. With cold water temperatures and relatively shallow depths, divers can enjoy these sites without overly long decompression times, making it an exciting and valuable experience for scuba enthusiasts.
