Folks,
I thought I would pass along some pictures my brother took on our dive trip we just returned from. We went to the BVI for two weeks and got in 17 dives - the majority of which he took pictures. He used an Olympus c-4000 with just the built in flash and not a strobe.
We have many more pics which we will post as soon as I have time.
I am kind of disappointed in the diving in the BVI for a couple of reasons:
1) Rodales voted the BVI as having the best wreck diving - and yes the Rhone is nice - but it's like a diving zoo... at any given time there might be 30-60 divers on the site. Actually - given the site throughput and the prevalence of novice/resort divers it is a wonder that the wreck is in such good shape. Also - in general the wrecks have NO coral encrustation. I didn't make it out to the Chikuzen but I hear that's a pretty cool dive.
2) No choice of gases... the only place to get nitrox was in the US Virgin Islands.
However - I must say that we got EXCELLENT service from Blue Water Divers out of Sopers Hole in West End Tortola. The staff there is great and while they don't have a huge selection of scuba stuff they do carry all the essentials in case you forget something.
Anyhow - here is the link:
