Lonely Planet Diving and Snorkeling: British Virgin Islands, 2nd Ed

Includes the World-Famous Wreck of the RMS "Rhone".

Comprising some 40 islands and cays in the northeast corner of the Caribbean, the British Virgin Islands are low-key and uncommercial. Topside, they offer lush subtropical forests and endless pristine beaches. Underwater, divers and snorkelers delight in coral-covered pinnacles, caverns, walls and shipwrecks, including the famed 19th-century RMS "Rhone". Once a notorious pirate hideaway, today's British Virgin Islands continue to be a sailor's paradise and are counted among the Caribbean's premier yachting destinations.
