潜点: The Dogs

关于 The Dogs

The Dogs are a small group of uninhabited islands between Tortola and Virgin Gorda, ringed by some of the liveliest reefs in the British Virgin Islands. Sites here such as Coral Gardens, Great Dog and George Dog combine rocky pinnacles, coral ridges and sand channels at depths from about 8 to 27 meters. The islands sit in open water, so the reefs are washed by nutrient-rich currents that attract large schools of fish, barracuda, jacks and regularly sharks and rays. The underwater scenery mixes boulder formations with healthy hard and soft corals, and there are plenty of ledges where nurse sharks rest. Conditions can be a little more energetic than at the sheltered southern sites, which is part of the appeal for experienced divers. The Dogs are a standard feature on BVI liveaboard routes heading towards Virgin Gorda.
