Is there good diving in Virgin Gorda?

Yes, there’s excellent diving in Virgin Gorda — most notably at The Dogs and the Chimney. The Dogs (a cluster of small islands northwest of Virgin Gorda) include George Dog, Great Dog, and West Dog, each with reef walls dropping to 60-80 feet and reliable sightings of nurse sharks, eagle rays, and barracudas. The Chimney off Great Dog is a tight cave swim-through at 35-45 feet that opens into a coral garden. Painted Walls is a 70-foot wall covered in soft corals. For wreck divers, the RMS Rhone off Salt Island (45 minutes south by yacht) is the iconic Caribbean wreck — a 310-foot Royal Mail Steamer sunk in 1867. See Virgin Gorda dive sites.
