Join REEF's Field Survey Trip to Bermuda for the opportunity to dive pristine reefs, expand your knowledge of marine life and search for elusive and unique fish such as the redback wrasse. Trip leaders Ned and Anna DeLoach will entertain participants with their fish id and behavior expertise, providing engaging lectures and photographs in conjunction with educational seminars each evening. Pink sand beaches, fascinating historic sites and a blend of British Colonial and African culture help to make Bermuda, also known as the "Jewel of the Atlantic," a captivating destination for non-divers as well. In fact, Condé Nast Traveler readers have voted Bermuda "Best Island in the Caribbean/Atlantic" 18 times since 1994.
