So you like gentle Wreck Diving and fun out of the water too? Well BVI Wreck Week which runs June 16 (Father’s Day) to June 22 is one to mark on your calendar.
If you can join us, Cuan Law will take you to the amazing featured wreck dives, and we will also try to coordinate as many of the above water activities for you as possible as well. Not only that, but we will do our best to be sure that you don’t miss out on a shore visit to the amazing Baths on Virgin Gorda. Even if you can’t join us on board you can still be a part of the raft of activities that week, ranging from beach clean-ups to Lion Fish tastings! We don’t normally try to tell travelers what route to get back home, but if you are already planning to be here in the BVI we recommend that you stay the night of the 22nd so that you won’t miss any of the finale at Nanny Cay.
So, about those wrecks.. well, they range from a Royal Mail steam/sail vessel, the RMS Rhone that sank in 1867, to a refugee from Pearl Harbour, the Kodiak Queen, to a refrigerator ship, the Chikuzen, that ended up beneath the waves in the late 1980’s to 2 amazing purpose-crafted Art Reefs – the result of devastation from the Hurricane Irma and Maria that swept the BVI in September 2017. All are easily accessible at less than 100ft and all vary in their state of reabsorption to the environment. All have become homes to an abundance of fish and invertebrates. Definitely worth a visit!
