Best site for experienced divers
The
Chikuzen
(a 250ft wreck north of Tortola) is great if you're looking for an out-
of-the-ordinary dive. It's an attraction for big animals, like reef, bull and lemon
sharks, and unique critters.
Best site for newbie divers
Ginger Island and Cooper Island have wonderfully protected sites with colorful reefs
at moderate depths.
