Check out the sunken tree which ended up there after the hurricanes but supposedly isn't native to the BVI. Anyone know where it came from? The canons are pretty cool if you can find them.

Map, sketches of each site, difficulty, snorkeling vs diving, etc. The Guide to Snorkeling and Diving in the British Virgin Islands If you make it to Anegada, you can't beat the snorkeling at Loblolly Beach in settled weather.
