The Baths at Virgin Gorda

Forget what you think you know about diving in the BVI. The Baths isn't a deep reef dive, but it's an absolute must-do for its unique geology. Here, massive granite boulders, some the size of small houses, tumble into the sea, creating dramatic swim-throughs, caverns, and grottoes. We usually treat The Baths as a snorkel site, and for good reason: the sunlight plays beautifully through the shallow, turquoise water. But get down a little deeper, maybe to 10 or 12 meters, and you'll find channels threading through the rocks, revealing schools of sergeant majors and wrasse. It’s an easy, low-current spot, perfect for divers who appreciate unusual topography and aren't chasing pelagics. Aim for early morning to beat the crowds, or late afternoon for softer light.
