About

Explore deep-ocean environments without ever dipping a toe in the water. Located in the City of Hamilton, the Ocean Discovery Centre at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute (BUEI) houses artefacts and interactive exhibits to help promote an understanding of our oceans. The latest exhibit is everything you need to know about the mysterious Bermuda Triangle! BUEI is very popular with kids and families, with a range of attractions to suit all ages. You’ll find coral-encrusted coins and other treasures pulled from shipwrecks, a simulated dive and shark cage dive, an astounding seashell collection and exhibits revealing the mysterious marine life of the sea-bottom. After you’ve worked up an appetite, head to the onsite Harbourfront Restaurant for lunch or dinner situated right on the Hamilton Harbour.
