Others wishing to participate may do so at an additional charge. The British Virgin Islands is renowned for its calm, clear waters and abundant marine life and Virgin Gorda is home to the spectacular snorkel site, The Baths. Trips to the Baths or any one of the numerous other snorkel beaches around the island are also offered. For an additional charge, scuba diving is available to guests right at the hotel and Dive BVI offers beginners classes, single and double tank dives to nearby reefs and a weekly trip to the Wreck of the Rhone. With easy sign-up right at the resort, dives at Little Dix Bay are ideal for everyone from beginners to experts.
Instruction is available on request and lessons in sunfish sailing are held twice weekly.
Guests may take along a picnic lunch to enjoy on board after the customary stop for snorkeling, or may purchase lunch ashore at Cooper Island. This activity is included in the Classic Caribbean and Pure Romance packages and is available to other guests at an additional cost. Captain Nick and his wife Lyndsay are the perfect hosts and guarantee a fun filled day of traditional sailing, guided snorkeling tours and a delicious lunch served on board, with a rum punch, of course. Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres are served onboard and the resort's knowledgeable staff describes the points of interest. The tennis program at Little Dix Bay is under the direction of Peter Burwash International, and a resident pro is available year round.
