Sunchaser Scuba - Virgin Gorda & Anegada
Sunchaser Scuba operates out of Virgin Gorda and Anegada, putting them in a great spot for exploring the BVI's lesser-dived reefs and wrecks. They run regular trips to sites like the Chikuzen wreck and the Anegada reefs, which can be trickier to reach from other islands. If you’re looking to dive beyond the usual spots and value a more remote experience, Sunchaser is a solid choice. They cater well to small groups and divers focused on specific wreck or reef exploration.
