About this dive site

This dive site features The Forceful, a purposefully sunk tug boat that was placed as part of the Bermuda Intact Wreck Initiative (BIWI) in 2009. She sank just days before tropical storm Bertha impacted Bermuda. The Forceful is larger than its companion wreck, The King, which was submerged twenty-four years earlier. As a result of its size and history, it presents an interesting dive experience.

Visibility at this location can vary depending on weather conditions. Due to the ship's structure and its position in the water, divers should be aware of potential currents. The site is suitable for experienced divers who are comfortable with wreck penetration.
