Scuba Diving

The Virgin Islands ranks as one of the Caribbean’s premier diving sites. Some major points of interest include Whistling Cay, Haulover Bay, and Reef Bay. Superb reef for both snorkeling and diving are found in and around most of the anchorages, however, for the safety of yourself and others, scuba diving is not permitted off designated swim beaches. When snorkeling, you will be exposed to a new world of fascinating plants and animals. Some corals and sponges are extremely fragile and easily damaged when touched or kicked. Others, such as fire coral and sea urchins may inflict painful wounds and irritation. As the saying goes, “take only pictures and leave only footprints”.

Several dive shops provide complete service from equipment rental and air tank refills, to tours and instruction. Just ask around!
