Here are just a few of the many scuba places.

​

The Indians – Norman Island

Whether scuba diving or snorkelling, the Indians are a favourite for all ages and abilities!

This marvellously unique rock formation, looms out of the water from a depth of approximately 10ft to 50ft and features a tunnel which divers (with scuba equipment) may pass through to the other side.

There is a spectacular variety of corals at the Indians as well as an abundance of reef fish.

​

Rainbow Canyons – Pelican Island

This is an ideal dive site for beginner and advanced scuba divers and has a spectacular array of coral formations.

Rainbow Canyons ranges in depth from 20 to 60 feet and is home to several colonies of garden eels, a huge variety of reef fish and several nurse sharks as well! Don’t miss the Rainbow Canyons when you dive the BVI!!!

​

Angelfish Reef – Norman Island

Angelfish reef runs from 30 to 80 foot depths and is exposed to the open, Caribbean Sea. As a result, it is frequented by several large and impressive, deep water species such as eagle rays and southern stingrays.

The sparkling white, sandy bottom at The reef is host to many bottom dwellers including snake eels and Moray eels.

 

Santa Monica Rock – Norman Island (weather permitting)  A truly spectacular dive site and one of our favourites! The site ranges in depth from 20 to 100 feet.  The underwater topography is made up of a series of rocky pinnacles, some rising to just 10 feet below the surface. At Santa Monica Rock, you may have the opportunity to see reef sharks, sea turtles and eagle rays among others.

​

Painted Walls – Dead chest Island (weather permitting)

It would seem as though an artist of the impressionist era had plied their skills at Painted Walls!  The walls where two, underwater valleys converge are teaming in colourful sponges as well as soft and hard corals, looking remarkably similar to an artist’s pallet! The main inhabitants at Painted Walls are nurse sharks, barracuda and lobsters.

This BVI dive site with depths of 30 to 50 feet is a great for beginner and advanced divers.

​

Blonde Rock – Between Salt Island and Deadchest (weather permitting)

This spectacular, underwater amphitheater, which lies between 20 and 60 feet deep, features both large and small overhangs.  There is a wide and colourful variety of coral formations and you may occasionally glimpse some sea turtles, sharks and rays of various species along with lobsters, crabs and conch.

 

Thumb Rock – Cooper Island

Off Cooper Island is this intriguing rock formation which, oddly enough resembles its name, attracts a wide variety of fish life including; tarpon, queen angelfish, French angelfish and the odd sea horse has been spotted here from time to time! Depth ranges from 40ft to 70ft.

​

Wreck Alley – Cooper Island

Wreck diving enthusiasts will be thrilled to explore four wrecks in a row lying in 50 to 80 feet of water, on a sandy bottom and right next to a mini wall! Plenty of stingrays and a great opportunity for spectacular, underwater photography!

​

The Wreck of The RMS Rhone- Salt Island

Certainly the most popular and well known of all BVI dive sites, the Royal Mail Steamer “Rhone” was the setting for the hit movie “The Deep”, starring Nick Nolte and Jacqueline Bissett. The wreck itself is fascinating to explore with parts of her still in tact. The Rhone foundered during a hurricane and is lying in depths from 20 to 80 feet. She is colourfully decorated by a wide variety of corals and is home to several resident barracuda, sea turtles, stingrays, angelfish, yellowtail snappers and many other varieties of fish life visit the Rhone. This is a “must see.”
