Think Finding Nemo, and that is what the reef looks like underneath the surface at the Painted Walls. It is off of Dead Chest Island in the British Virgin Islands and is, by far, one of the most popular. It is 12 meters deep (that's 36 feet for us non-metric users), and a really easy swim with minimal underwater current. The water is crystal clear and really warm.
The animals to look out for on this dive are:
- Turtles
- Octopus
- Squid
- Frogfish
The Colosseum
The Colosseum is off the coast of Jost Van Dyke and is a very beautiful dive. It is easy, with minimal current, and a maximum depth of around 25-30ft. This site has numerous rock caverns and niches for small sea life to hide. One really unique thing about this dive is that it has a cave that is only accessible by swimming under the water. This is a great family dive! CAUTION: There have been Lionfish spotted here, both at the surface and towards the bottom.
