Dive BVI on Virgin Gorda is officially back out on and under the water! Recently they welcomed their first guests since hurricanes Irma and Maria. For those of you who are concerned about the condition of the reefs, they reported, “We had some great diving and loads of fish at POS and the world famous Chimney”. Dive BVI is now taking reservations for rendezvous diving and scuba training dives for your charter now! They also want you to know that their Scrub Island location will be open as well for shopping, equipment rentals and tank fills.

BVI Traveller was created in September of 2017 to help tourism in the British Virgin Islands recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma.
To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.
The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support.
