The Blinders: Virgin Gorda
The Blinders, just around the corner from the famous Baths, is like diving the Baths' gigantic boulders in 35 feet of water. Huge boulders are heaped everywhere, covered on the tops with soft corals and Fire Coral and on the bottom with sponges and Orange Cup Corals. There are lots of swimthroughs and interesting overhangs harboring snappers and squirrelfish. Several of us enjoyed another Nurse Shark encounter but we were most fascinated by a Hawksbill Turtle that nonchalantly munched sponges right in front of us.

ONBOARD diving from a charter yacht is by far the best choice if you are planning a scuba diving trip in the Virgin Islands: Your Captain will help you choose the perfect dive site - you sail up to the site - hook up to a mooring ball - dive in some of the world's best diving waters, and when you're done you climb back aboard your yacht to be met by the chef with a most welcome snack. No need to wait for a commercial dive operator - then getting on a stinky diesel dive boat with strangers and taking time to get to and from the dive site - using up half the day. Nothing beats a USVI or BVI catamaran yacht charter for ease and convenience when Scuba Diving in the Virgin Islands. An awesome liveaboard scuba diving experience you will never forget!
