Trip Description

Ready to learn how to SCUBA dive and sail while exploring tropical islands? The British Virgin Islands (BVI’s) have captivated the imagination and attention of pirates, poets, and paradise seekers for hundreds of years. Nearly every hidden bay has a white sand beach and fantastic snorkeling. Easy sailing on gentle trade winds and a seemingly endless number of dive sites make these islands one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Prepare to have a blast in the BVI’s!

Scattered around the Sir Francis Drake Channel are over 50 islands, uninhabited National Parks, exclusive resorts, and laid back beach villages that beg to be explored. An abundance of marine life thrives in the clear blue water, making the BVI’s a great place to learn about the ocean! Earn your PADI Open Water Diver certification and swim through underwater canyons, chase fish past walls of coral, and explore pirate wrecks and unlucky ships on the ocean floor. Learn more about the amazing marine life and coral reefs underneath the clear blue waters. Above the water earn International Yacht Training (IYT) sailing certifications while experiencing the freedom of life aboard. The possibilities for adventure are endless!
