British Virgin Islands Dive Itinerary

BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
DIVE ITINERARY
by Captain Will Knoetze of Catamaran Laysan

The British Virgin Islands not only has a tremendous history of pirates, lost treasures and myths, but is one of the world’s best sailing and scuba diving destinations. Its beautiful islands, beaches and safe anchorages are legendary.

Divers of all levels enjoy the limitless dive sites scattered around the islands and it is nearly impossible to dive all of them, but we have compiled a list of some of the most popular and remote sites available to divers wanting to explore magical underwater reefs and historic wrecks bursting with ocean life.

Experience some of the best scuba diving sites in the BVI from your very own private luxury yacht:

Wreck Alley
Just off Cooper Island, this site certainly lives up to its name. All four wrecks can be explored.

Flintstones
Beautiful boulders and ledges, full of fish life and plenty of lobsters.

Alice in Wonderland
Coral of all colors paint a wonderland picture - truly amazing.

RMS Rhone
This famous wreck is a lovely dive, full of fish activity and great for pictures.

Twin Towers
On the north side of Little Jost Van Dyke, two underwater towers and caves full of life waiting to be discovered.

Coral Gardens
Next to Peter Island is a beautiful wall full of coral, with garden eels at the bottom to say goodbye until your next dive.

Chikuzen
Known for its wreck and diving with sharks, incredible dive site located between Tortola and Anegada.

So many sites to choose from and daily planning will give divers multiple options to explore. The immense deck space on Laysan makes it ideal for diving. Your private chef awaits you after every dive with mouthwatering dishes.

Non-divers have multiple options to snorkel, discover sandy beaches, enjoy water sports, go on hiking trails or just relax and soak up the sun.
