Sailing | Fishing | Skiing | Kayaking | Scuba Diving & Snorkeling
The BVI's underwater vistas are among the world's most breathtaking and
Liahona is ideally equipped for you to fully enjoy them.
Scuba Diving
Scuba gear, onboard compressor, wide diving platform and a resident dive
master make Liahona the ideal boat for scuba diving.
There is no charge for certified divers to dive with Liahona's Dive
Master and all your equipment is provided. Just be sure and bring your
certification card and you will be required to fill out a dive
disclaimer.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can be enjoyed at almost all anchorages by everyone! Whether
you simply want to refresh in the crystal clear water or are on the look
out for some colorful coral or tropical fish, you can almost always find
great snorkeling right off the back of the boat.
Your vessel is equipped with masks, snorkels and fins for this
pleasurable past-time. We will ask for your sizes ahead of time so we
can ensure you have all the proper equipment. You are always welcome to
bring your own snorkel gear as well.
Diving Policies
As with every aspect of your sailing vacation, our SCUBA diving program
is tailored towards your enjoyment and safety. Each of our catamarans is
equipped with B.C.s, Regulators, fins, masks, snorkels and weight belts
but if you have your own equipment and would prefer to use that please
bring it along. We do not provide wet suits or dive lights.
Divers must bring their Certification card. If you have had any serious
illnesses or operations since certification we request that you consult
with a physician prior to participating in SCUBA diving.
Our Divemaster chooses dive sites based on weather
conditions and guests experience level, they will also act as guides.
There is an abundance of colorful coral reefs and wreck dives in the
British Virgin Islands. Most dive sites offer snorkeling at the shallow
depths, with a small wall or feature to which the divers can descend to
see more corals and fish life. The dives average 30-60 feet deep,
offering plenty of bottom time to really enjoy the features of each
site.
Among our favorites dives are Pelican Island and the Indians, Painted
walls, the Wreck of the R.M.S. Rhone, Blue Chromis reef, the Chimney and
Diamond reef.
Most BVI dive sites come under the jurisdiction of the BVI National
Parks Trust and we encourage our guests to preserve their beauty by not
taking any souvenirs or damaging the marine life.
Please read and complete our Dive Disclaimer before your holiday.
