You'll be right there near the RMS Rhone. I'm currently planning a BVi trip and haven't been there yet, but I understand this is a "must do."

If you are planning to stay on Cooper for more than a few days it might get a bit boring, there is not much to do except water sports and the one restaurant (club) on the beach. It's a favorite stop of charterers who come in and grab a mooring, enjoy the beach, the restaurant, snorkeling and or diving. Always been one of my favorite places to sit at the beach bar, have a drink or lunch while waiting for them to fill my tanks. It's well located to many dive sites making short boat rides.
The sunsets are special at Cooper whether siting on your own boat or the Beach Bar, Painkiller in hand, watching the sun drop down on the Sir Frances Drake Channel and highlighting a dozen islands or so all the way to the USVI.

I will be bringing my 14th dive group to BVI/Cooper Island thus month because we love it! Water sports and getting away from it all is what Cooper is all about!! If you want nightlife, casinos, and shopping - don't go!
Shore diving from Cooper is easy and it can be fun to do a few dives in the mooring field to see what "treasure" the sailors have dropped overboard, but the great dives in the BVI must be experienced from a boat, and many of these dives sites are very close to Cooper. Sail Caribbean Divers is the on-site operator and they can take you diving every day on their boat right from your doorstep at Cooper. My suggestion would be to book a dive package so that you can really enjoy the great diving in the BVI.
You can contact them directly at Sail Caribbean Divers :: Scuba diving and water sports in the British Virgin Islands or you can book diving and your stay as a package at Cooper Island Beach Club - A Caribbean paradise in the British Virgin Islands. I can't say enough about how great both the operator & resort are!
PS, I'm based in the Chicago area too so feel free reach out if I can answer any questions or help you plan your trip to Cooper.
