caribbean scuba diving
In the British Virgin Islands, year round the water is at a temperature of close to 80 degrees, diving is rarely deeper than 80 feet and most dives are between 30 and 60 feet. Our dive sites vary from sheltered coral reefs to offshore rocks and walls. You can also hide inside grottoes, caves and old shipwrecks. Visiblity is mostly good to excellent. The tremendous variety of undersea life you'll encounter will keep you checking in the guide books again and again. The Virgin Islands has a diversity of sites that is without equal.
bvi diving charter
Promenade
offers two experienced NAUI and PADI certifying diving instructors. Promenade
is without a doubt the best equipped diving yacht of its size for SCUBA diving.
Whether you are an avid diver looking for a Caribean vacation that your entire
family can share, or just looking for resort diving as an exiting addition to
your cruise, our SCUBA instructos have learned to turn your diving adventure into
one of the most memorable and exciting parts of your Caribbean diving vacation.
We have been diving in the BVI for many years!
diving from promenade charter yacht
Diving from Promenade is very easy. One soon takes for granted the spacious deck
area of a trimaran. You won't be crowded while getting all your gear sorted out
and there are two easy places to suit up and sit down while everybody gets ready.
There is a ladder that extends 5 rungs below the water to make it easier for you
to climb aboard at the end of a dive, with fresh water shower right beside it.
When we have keen divers on board, it is our philosophy to visit, on average,
two quality dive sites a day, to complement a pleasant, relaxed sailing schedule.
