SAIL CARIBBEAN DIVERS

A PADI GOLD PALM RESORT

 

Sail Caribbean Divers

based at Hodges Creek Marina on Tortola, have been operating in the BVI for 25 years. Their professional staff is currently headed by Melisande Rowe, PADI Master Instructor, and Mike Rowe, PADI Course Director. They are committed to providing the most memorable dive experiences, combined with an exceptionally high standard of safety.

They specialise in custom, individually tailored dive tours, and a full range of educational programmes for the absolute novice, through Instructor level.

 

BVI dive sites

 

are as pristine as they are varied. View backdrops that highlight graceful creatures such as sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, barracuda and even sharks. Explore pinnacles, caverns, vibrant reefs and beautiful underwater gardens. Visit the most famous wreck dive in the Caribbean, the RMS Rhone, which was the main location for the filming of the movie, The Deep. Sunk during a storm in 1867, the 310-foot mail ship now rests in three pieces on the west side of Salt Island only minutes from Cooper Island. Closer to Cooper, lie four equally exciting but recent wrecks in the newly acclaimed "Wreck Alley".

Other popular dive sites on our schedule include, the Indians, Dead Chest West, Painted Walls, Angelfish Reef, Chromis Reef, Thumb Rock, Blonde Rock, Alice in Wonderland, Markoe Point and The Chikuzen.

 

Our 25 and 36 foot custom dive boats

are outfitted with all the dive gear you will need, together with safety equipment, oxygen, first aid kits, fresh water, healthy snacks and fresh fruit. The pride of our fleet, DISCOVERY, is a 36 foot Newton dive boat, complete with camera table, fresh water showers, head and spacious dive platform.

 

Our professional dive guides

will deliver thorough pre-dive briefings to include historical points of interest, marine life and a complete description of underwater sights and topography. The staff pride themselves on delivering the most professional, personalized and customer service oriented dive experience the BVI has to offer.

We can provide professional SCUBA instruction at all levels from complete novice through Instructor.

 

Discover Scuba Diving

is a perfect way to get your feet wet for the first time if you have never tried scuba diving. Newcomers can become acquainted with basic theory, equipment, and safety procedures in their first session right on shore. Training begins in 3-5 feet of water right off the beach. Once you are comfortable with the necessary skills you will take your first scuba dive in 20-30 feet of crystal clear water. On subsequent dives at nearby sites you will begin to focus on the beauty and creatures that highlight the underwater world. Discover Scuba is fun, easy, safe and perfect for anyone who wants to give it a try.
