Friendly Island Divers - Sandy Island
Friendly Island Divers operates from Sandy Island, giving them quick access to Anguilla's more secluded western sites. If you’re staying elsewhere on Anguilla, it means a boat ride out to the island first. They run small groups, which we appreciate for a more personal dive experience. We think they’re a solid choice for exploring the area's many reefs and wrecks without the crowds of larger operations.
