Dive· Green Cay· Virgin Islands (BVI, USVI and Spanish Virgins)

The Playground (Green Cay dive site)

18° 27.4′ N · 64° 42.5′ W · approximate

An Atlantic-side seamount of giant boulders off Green Cay, voted the BVI's number one 'big animal dive' by Sport Diver in 2004, with eagle rays, passing pelagics and occasional Atlantic mantas.

Practical

Position is approximate: the north (Atlantic) side of Green Cay; the operator keeps exact marks private. JVD Scuba: a national park zone, large enough for two dives, max 70 ft but mostly 25 to 35 ft; a knowledgeable guide is needed to find the site from the buoy. Only in calm north-shore conditions.
