Wreck diving in BVI

[teknitroxdiver]

I'm sure this thread will grow protests like barnacles on a boat, but oh well.

I'd like to take the PADI (or another agencies) Wreck Diver course in the BVI (specifically, Virgin Gorda) sometime next summer. Is this possible in that area? The Rhone isn't really suitable for penetration simulations, and the Chikuzen is WAY out there to be doing 4 dives..... there is also Wreck Alley, 2 tugs and a barge, but that would be some really short penetrations. What is required to be able to do the course? I'd like to do it there since the water is warm and I know all the instructors (Tudor Scanes, Cori Gondek, Kevin Jones, Scott Byars, etc) there and they know me.

So basically I'm asking if it's possible in this kind of location.

thanks, and hold the flak please.

In the Wreck diver cert you do penetrations don't you? How exacly did you to it on the Fearless?

No question about which operator to use, it's Dive BVI all the way for me.

There is another wreck that was intentionally sunk by the BVI Dive Association right in wreck alley (I forget the site name). It is not often dove because it hasn't attracted a large amount of sealife but it's perfect for wreck diving and can be penetrated safely.

EDIT: The name of the boat is Inganess Bay
