The Indians

When viewed after copious quantities of rum punch, the four rocks protruding from the sea near Norman Island are said to resemble an indian headress. From your sober perspective, you may disagree with the analogy, but you will agree it is a wonderful dive.

Descending from waist deep water to about 60' (20m) the Indians are home to a variety of dive experiences. There is beautiful coral and innumerable species of reef fish.

A small cavern is fun to play in and the tunnel makes for a colourful pass through. The sheer cliff walls of the rockface are draped with an incredible variety of marine lifeforms. This is also an excellent location for the non-divers in your group to try snorkeling.

Blonde Rock

Divers descend from their boat onto a coral encrusted plateau at about 30' (10m). From there you swim over the plateau lip and descend into a maze of shadowed overhangs, narrow passages and eroded coral. This is a favourite spot for our numerous sea turtle population. With a very neat tunnel and a beautiful rainbow arch Blonde rock rates as one of our favourites.

Alice in Wonderland

Perhaps our best coral dive, you will be carried away to fairytail seascapes of huge mushroom coral, narrow twisting channels and beautiful cascading drapery coral.

Though as deep as 65' (22m) the best coral is in 45' (15m) so there is nice light and lots of air for a long dive.

You may not see the Yellow Brick Road but you will feel like you are swimming through Oz!

Rainbow Canyons

Located at Pelican Rock, Rainbow Canyons is indeed a rainbow of colourful fish and coral. Weaving through a maze of small canyons and huge coral heads you will marvel at nature's smorgasborg that she dishes up for your visual pleasure. At 35' to 55' (11m to 18m) this is a dive that novices and experienced divers alike will enjoy and remember.

Marie L. and Pat

These twin wrecks resting against one another on a white sand bottom at 80' (26m) make for an intresting dive. From a lush coral reef at 35' (12m) you gently decend to 55' (18m) which then drops down a wall to the sand bottom. Emerging from the misty haze of these azure waters, the rusted hulls of these derelicts mysteriously appear. Similarly the thousands of tiny garden eels buried in the surrounding sands disappear upon approach and then silently reappear as you glide past. We can almost guarantee that you will see the sand covered outlines and bulging eyes of at least one stingray upon your visit to the Marie L. and Pat.

Dry Rocks East

This somewhat unusual dive is quite shallow at 25' to 35' (8m to 12m) as you circumnavigate these boulders rising to just above the surface.

Washed by a constant but gentle current, Dry Rocks is the home to much unusual marine life. Huge clams, large southern lobsters and slipper lobsters (protected by our National Parks Trust) call Dry Rocks home.

Often Morays will be seen with their heads protruding from their darkened home.

Frequently, sleepy and largely passive, nurse sharks bask in the shade under the huge boulders.

M/V Iganess Bay

Crushed upon the rocky shores of Road Harbour during Hurricane Bertha, the BVI Dive Operators' Association cleaned and then towed the stricken vessel to it's current resting spot on the white sandy bottom between Salt and Cooper Islands.

At 80' (26m) the Inganess Bay is a fun wreck where you can swim through the bridge, cargo holds or play with the giant loading cranes.
