For those of you who have dived the BVIs, are the typical dive profiles more square or multi-level?

Most dives are multi-level. You'll start around 50-80 feet, buzz around a while, see the fishies, the wrecks, the coral, the rays. Then you'll go up to around 20-30 feet. (excellent deep stop.) and spend some time looking around. Most of the dive sites lend themselves to this type of dive. The reef starts shallow and then steps down to relative depth.
A few of the dive sites (Coral Gardens, Mountain Point, The Aquarium, The Airplane) are pretty square profiles, but they are also shallow (30-45 max feet), so you might have up to an hour bottom time.
Some of the dive sites are wrecks out in the middle of sand (Chikuzen, Wreck Alley) so you may spend part of you dive around the bottom of the wreck and then the next bit on top of the wreck.
If you have any other questions just ask!
