Bermuda takes its name from the Spanish sea captain Juan de Bermúdez,

Who sighted the uninhabited islands either 1503.

The Spanish did not claim the islands, but they soon became an important navigational landmark for them to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Since Bermuda is surrounded by dangerous reefs, nautical misadventures cast the Spanish ashore on bseveral occasions and littered the sea ed with enough booty for some people to consider scuba diving in Bermuda more than a recreational sport.
