The Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute celebrated its 20th anniversary Saturday as well as its 4th annual Underwater Extravaganza.
Invited guests enjoyed watching a grind-off competition between Team BDA and 35th America’s Cup members of Artemis, Land Rover BAR and Team Japan with Artemis and Land Rover BAR tying for first place.
The event on Saturday evening, under the patronage of Governor John Rankin, featured a laser Hula-Hoop performance by Ishrat Yakub, courtesy of Rockfire Productions. Della Valle Sandals was on site with a pop-up boutique creating custom handmade sandals, with part of the proceeds donated to BUEI’s education programmes.
