| The British Virgin Islands are actually high
points on a vast underwater plateau that stretches for more
than 70 miles across the northern Caribbean. The Islands form
a protective ring around the body of water known as Sir Francis
Drake Channel. This fortunate geography provides superior underwater
visibility, healthy coral and calm dive sites, no matter what
the weather.
The BVI does not have walls or drift diving however they
do have sites full of stunning coral gardens, canyons, tunnels,
caverns, grottos and wrecks full with underwater life of every
size and kind. As a result, diving in The BVI waters is always
exciting and is why so many divers choose to get certified
here.
The British Virgin Islands are extremely conservation-minded
and the extensive system of moorings at the most popular dive
sites is maintained by the National Parks Trust and Ministry
of Natural Resources which is dedicated to the preservation
of reef areas and marine life. |
