This was an amazing experience. If ever your in Bermuda I strongly advise doing this excursion. Captain Greg and his son Ben were amazing. You can tell they love what they do and they love the ocean and the animals with in it. Don't miss your chance to experience something you will remember forever.

Such a wonderful experience! Our Captain and his son were very friendly and informative! The water was cold but the wetsuits made the trip enjoyable! I learned all about the fish and coral reef. I highly recommend this tour!

Once in a life time experience, very knowledgeable, passed down from generations. We got our pictures with the fish and ell.

We had an incredible experience with Hartley's Helmet Diving in Bermuda. It was our first time diving in any way. We found the instructions to be very clear, and the equipment was very clean and professional. We were comfortable when under the waves and truly enjoyed the adventure.

The tour company charged the Full price the day prior to the scheduled TOUR DATE. We Wrote them CONFIRMING The tour AND NEVER HEARD A WORD . We went through the expense and time to get to the departure area AND THE VENDOR NEVER SHOWED UP ! DO NOT BOOK this VENDOR and DO NOT COUNT on Viator for assistance as VIATAR gave no assistance when we let them know . As of this moment ( 24 hrs later ) there is still no refund of the original 300.00 dollars charged .

We had the best day! We loved meeting the fish and the beautiful eel. My daughter was very hesitant and almost backed out. Ben and Greg did everything they could to make her comfortable and she had so much fun and cannot wait to do it again. Thank you!!

The Hartley Helmet Dive was the singular most unique & amazing experience I've ever had! I'm in my 60s with a bad leg, but the experience was NOT out of my realm. Encounter is hosted by a great Family (father & son). Easy to get used to and so much fun interacting with fish. Underwater for almost a full hour! I've got unbelievable video and photos as well! Highly recommend and I'm gonna do this again for sure!

This was the most amazing experience and I don't think I'll ever experience another excursion quite like it. The diving experience was not rushed and gave us plenty of time to experience the underwater world. It's pretty obvious that the tour guide was passionate about what he does and respects the fish and wildlife and the relationship with them. I would recommend booking directly as if you book on their website photos and video is included.

This was a great experience that I would definitely recommend. Great for kids and adults! My boyfriends son is 12 and he was a little nervous at first but did just fine. He said it was his best day on the trip! For those that have difficulty with traditional Skuba diving or tend to panic this was a great beginner alternative where you’re free to enjoy an awesome experience without having to worry about a bunch of equipment. I also accidentally booked twice. Once through Apple Pay on the browser and once on the viator app which the tour guides brought to my attention when we arrived. They took care of everything and refunded me one of the charges within one business day.
