British Virgin Islands Dive Guide
by Staff
Average Rating
What to ExpectExpansive coral gardens, coral and rock grottos lie offshore of the region's small southern islands. Fish are abundant due to conservation efforts, and the wreck of the RMS Rhone - downed in an 1867 hurricane - is the most popular dive site. The Indians rock formation near Norman Island offers mountainous star coral formations, canyons and intriguing swim-throughs. Rainbow Canyons contain an abundance of colorful fish and other organisms. Air temps average 85 degrees, while the shallow, usually calm waters are 76 to 82 degrees and offer 60 to 200 feet of visibility.
