A 4.3-magnitude earthquake occurred 83km south-east of Bermuda, according to the US Geological Survey.
The quake happened at a depth of 7.6km this afternoon, the American monitoring agency said.
A 4.5-magnitude earthquake last month happened 560km west of Bermuda at a depth of 9.6km.
Martin Brewer, a geologist who lives in Bermuda, said he had measured the quake slightly differently from the USGS.
He put the earthquake at a 4.1 magnitude, and located it as being 74km from the island
Mr Brewer told The Royal Gazette: ”It is the biggest one we have had for some years this close.
“It would be the biggest since a 4.6-magnitude one in 2011 and that one was felt by some people.”
