Snorkelling & Diving

The British Virgin Islands' dive sites offer a fascinating diversity of marine life such as sea turtles, spotted eagle rays and a multitude of tropical reef fish. The majority of diving takes place around the ‘Little Sisters' island chain, made up of Cooper Island, Dead Chest, Ginger Island, Norman Island, Pelican Island, Peter Island and Salt Island.

Our beach is renowned for great snorkelling and at its southern-most tip, Blue Tang, Queen Angelfish and schools of Sergeant Majors congregate at ‘Cistern Point'.

Southern Rays, Angel Fish, Butterfly Fish, Parrot Fish, Octopus, Caribbean Squid, Cleaner Shrimp, Green Turtles, Moray Eels, Damsel fish and Squirrel can be found just off the beach at Cooper Island. 

Sail Caribbean Divers are on site every day, offering a host of activities and water-sports rentals including kayaks, ocean floats, snorkel equipment and underwater cameras. 

You can even learn to dive here at Cooper Island Beach Club. A PADI Discover Scuba Diving course can be completed in half a day and your dives count towards Open Water certification too!
