Pinnacle Xr Pro 30 80

Coral Street is a less visited site on the Peninsula but it offers some excellent diving for those who aren't put off by a long surface swim. It's located at the intersection of Coral St. and Ocean View Blvd.

Parking along Ocean View Blvd is free. Everything else will cost you. For divers looking for current, urchin barrens and shallows suitable for spear fishing, this site and Chase Reef are easy and accessible but for the true gems like Ball Buster you'll need to work for it.

Coral Street inshore in recent years has become a heartbreaking urchin barren, lacking much of the kelp it had only a few years ago. The close shallows are only about 30 feet deep and save the occasional bull kelp stipe, mussel shoal or pinnacle it is mostly dreary Purple Urchins and Sea Cucumbers as far as the eye can sea. Spear fishing is permitted but not particularly productive.

Aumentos Reef however, is an ambitious (nearly half mile!) swim out upon which the shore diver will encounter exceptional diving on a truly spectacular pinnacle. The bottom here is about 80 feet but the pinnacle climbs to nearly 40 feet below the surface. This might suit boat divers better, however. Dolphins, porpoises and even whales have been seen very close to shore here as they round Point Pinos.

This site is somewhat more exposed than those farther down the Peninsula and has a tendency to experience more current, swell and surge that comes around Point Pinos from the open ocean. The boat traffic is also very high owing to fishing, diving and recreational activity.

When diving near shore in the barrens, false bottoms of high rocks on the kick in can lull you into early fin removal; there's no such thing as too close to shore to take your fins off. Coming in or out, thick eelgrass on high rocks presents an entanglement hazard.

SCUBA diving is offered on some of our fully staffed charter yachts in the British Virgin Islands and is equipped to cater to your diving needs. With extensive experience in all the dive locations, your divemaster or instructor will take you diving in the best dive destinations in the beautiful BVI waters to experience a diverse variety of fish, coral, and other sea creatures. Dive on a wreck or glide over the most amazing underwater coral formations.

Some yachts offer dives for certified divers and are included in the charter fee. Most have all the equipment onboard and others may have to rent the gear for you. Rendezvous diving is an option when a dive company will meet you at the yacht and take you for a two-tank dive and return you to your charter yacht.

There is a buoy on the Southside of Dead Chest Island. This visually stunning site is both popular for all and perfect for beginners. Painted Walls are fun to explore because there is a kaleidoscope of colors created by encrusting corals and sponges on the walls of four canyons.

These colorful canyons create unique passageways for divers. In one of these gullies, there is a natural arch where you pass into a shallow pool with schools of fish. You may even spot a nurse shark sleeping under huge boulders. They are harmless and wonderful to find. The dive is about 45 minutes long where you first head to the furthest gully and then return via the rest.

Regarded as one of the best shallow dives in the BVI, these four rocky pinnacles rise and descend roughly the same fifty feet above and below the water surface, which form abundant coral gardens, a 15-foot tunnel, and lots of fish, and an underwater cavern. There are overhangs where soldierfish hang and often you will spot lionfish too. Nurse sharks often lay in the gulleys.

Find a buoy on the Southside of Green Cay, next to Sandy Spit. and nearby tranquil Sandy Spit. Look for a large formation of pillar coral and a series of huge boulders on the exposed north side. They are covered with marine growth. From large fans, soft corals, and brightly colored sponges. Overhangs are filled with schools of smaller reef fish while larger fish swim freely around the rocks. Schools of barracudas patrol the outskirts. Turtles and sharks may be seen between the pinnacles.

This rocky pinnacle which barely breaks the surface lays on the West side of Cistern Point on Cooper Island, (a snorkeling and beginner-level diving site). This is a very colorful dive site with pillar coral with an abundance of reef fish to observe. You may be lucky to see a green moray eel hiding in crevices.

Angelfish Reef is a popular dive site known for its canyons and sloping ridges. Large barrel sponges are seen along the edge of the dropdown and you will see angelfish and triggerfish amongst lobsters and eels.

The Kodiak Queen was launched in 1940 as U.S. Navy fuel barge YO-44 and is one of only five ships that survived the Pearl Harbor attack. As the Kodiak Queen, the ship began a new life as a fishing boat. Historian Mike Cochran found the ship rusting in a Road Town junkyard in 2012. He set up a website in an effort to rescue the ship and got some famous attention. Owen Buggy, a friend of and photographer for Sir Richard Branson, saw the site and suggested the ship as an artificial reef.

Due to its remote location, 12 miles NW of Virgin Gorda, this site should only be attempted with experienced instructors and good weather conditions. One of its challenges is the regular swells, in the 3-5ft range. Also, due to the unstable piping inside, divers should not attempt to enter the vessel.

Surrounded now by miles of sand, this is the only place for marine life to congregate. Regular visitors include schooling barracuda, horse-eye jacks and snapper, stingrays, eagle rays, African pompano, Atlantic spadefish, nurse sharks, and reef sharks along with a resident 600lb Goliath Grouper.

On your vacation in Hawaii, you can visit famous dive sites along the western coast of the Big Island, including Paradise Pinnacle, Tubastrea Tunnel, The Hive, Turtle Pinnacle, and the Amphitheater. Traveling far beyond the range of day operators, Kona Aggressor II ventures to breath-taking South Point, also known as Ka Lae. South Point is the southernmost point of Hawaii (and of the United States), and it is believed the first Polynesians to arrive in the Hawaiian Islands landed at Ka Lae between 400 and 800 A.D. Rocky cliffs, strong ocean currents, and high winds characterize this area, now registered as a National Historic Landmark District.

Kona, with its tropical climate, has warm temperatures year round. January is the coldest month, when air temperatures average 82F (27.2C) during the day and 66F (19C) at night. The warmest month in Kona is August, when daytime air temperatures average 88F (31C) and nighttime temperatures average 73F (23C). Water temperatures average between 72F and 80F (22-26C) with thermoclines. The leeward side of the island presents the best scuba diving conditions during the months of May through September although the Kona coast also offers excellent dive opportunities during the other months. Because of the number of dives guests may make in a day, a 3-5mm wetsuit with hood is recommended year round. The average dive depth is 30-80 feet (9-24m). In general the waters are calm and clear but there can be a slight surge present on some dives.

The dive site of Paradise Pinnacle is a large bommie that rises from depths of approximately 90 feet (27m) to within about 30 feet (9M) of the surface. The base of this pinnacle is comprised of black sand which is formed by the waves grinding black basalt into fine sand. Garden Eels can be found in the deeper, white sand. With dive depths up to 59 feet (18m), divers at Paradise Pinnacle will also see Cleaner Shrimp, Crocodile Eels, Turkey Fish, and Hairy Hermit Crabs.

Another popular divesite is Tubastrea Tunnel off the small fishing village of Milolii. Lava tubes, extending like fingers, stretch from the shore to form a peninsula of canyons, ridges, and swim-throughs. Scuba divers here will see plentiful Puffers, Tiger Cowries, and Hairy Hermit Crabs. Night dives may present Orange Cup Coral in bloom. The feature tunnel here measures 20 feet (6m) wide, 10 feet (3m) high, and 40 feet (12m) long. Beautiful Tubastrea Coral, also known as sun coral, cover the tunnel. Contrary to what their common name suggests, Tubastrea are often found in deep waters because they do not require sunlight for nourishment and they extend their colorful tentacles only at night.
