Current flowing under the Flatts Bridge 2004

Well - OK for most people this isn't really a danger. But every time I go to Flatts, I look at the current flowing under this bridge and marvel.

The Bermuda information page (website below) says:

"Under the bridge, the water either surges into Harrington Sound from the Atlantic via Flatts Inlet, or flows out in the reverse direction. Often, see fish or squid flowing with the tide. People gazing at the tide rushing under Flatts Bridge are only partly correct in thinking this is how Harrington Sound to the north of the bridge fills and empties.

"The racing current is just a fraction of the daily ebb and flow. Most of it slides silently through hidden caves and tunnels. There is a vast underground labyrinth of them stretching the length of the Parish and from coast to coast in the Parish.

"Most of the network is entirely under water. Under water caves look exactly like above-water caves. The Bermuda Cave Diving Association has lines connecting them. Experienced cave divers, local or visiting, can find out more."
