As a BVI divemaster and instructor once said.... 

"What is there about the British Virgin Islands that makes it the kind of place where someone can do 8 or 9 thousand dives and still look forward to going to work (underwater) every day?  The key is diversity.  The wide spread sites are each different in bottom composition, and the marine life provides an ever-changing counterpoint to these differing backdrops. 
 
One day we might be working the canyons and tunnels of Painted Walls on Dead Chest and the next exploring offshore pinnacles such as Blonde Rock, Santa Monica Rock, Ring Dove or Carrot Shoal. 

The many islands that make up the BVI also provide lots of sheltered locations for the less adventurous divers, snorkelers, or those prone to mal-de-mer.  The area also abounds in what I call coral gardens - shallow and not-so-shallow areas where the coral creates fantastic shapes, terraces, and ledges that seem to stretch endlessly.  Snorkelers enjoy floating over these sites as much as divers love finning through them. 
 
If you want walls endlessly dropping to thousands of feet, go elsewhere but otherwise, I'll match our diving with any Caribbean destination that doesn't train the fish.  We don't feed sharks, eels, or stingrays which probably makes us one of the few islands that can still boast of wild populations. 

And the BVI also has one of the most famous dives in the world called The Wreck of the Rhone.  Come down and experience some of the most interesting diving and snorkeling you'll ever do in the Caribbean."
