british virgin Islands

I am going on a weeks sailing around the BVI's and know nothing of the diving there.
Can anyone recommend a dive company and dive sites to me please?
What is it like for diving?

I've been to BVI 3 times and enjoyed it each time. We dove with Lammer Law
(when it was there) then Cuan Law later. The diving is not the best I've
been to, visibility fair to poor not an abundance of variety of fish life,
virtually no palagics. Although you can hardly beat the scenery above. There
are some memorable sites like "the Indians" "grand central" and the
"aquarium" and I'm sure there were others I can't remember. I like it for
the variety of above and below attractions. Oh I almost forgot the dive site
"the Rhone" but I only liked it as a night dive.

I have dove in the BVI many times years ago, and most recently this
past SPring when we sailed for 10 days on a Bare Boat charter. We dove
with Underwater Safaris and had a great time - they came and picked us
up at our boat.

The diving is nice - nothing too hard - the wreck of the Rhone is a
must see, The Indians are nice as well as many other sites depending
on the conditions.

They respond quickly to email requests, so I'd sugest writing too
them, letting them know your sailing agenda, what days you want to
dive on, and how many in your party.

We left a wetsuit on their boat by accident but didn't realize it
until several days later - when we got home we wrote them and they
mailed it back to us asap.

Have fun!

I was in Tortola in June. Thought the diving was pretty good. 60 to 70 ft vis
is about the norm, saw more than a few turtles, nurse sharks, rays and eels.
Dove with blue Water Divers ( http://www.bluewaterdiversbvi.com/ )

They will meet you and drop you at your boat. Good, safe, enjoyable opp. Enjoy
