We will have a car all week and would like a few snorkel ideas all depending on the North Shore swells. We are also planning a full day trip over to VG on Friday to drive our party of 9 around and see what we can do about the local economy. We might even rent a boat for a day as well. I've been a formumite since '08 on VIOL and appreciate fellow forumites for their 'local' knowledge. Enjoy the journey always... Dave

We like the fringing reef at Brewers Bay. If you get a boat Monkey Point on Guana Island is well known, we also like Diamond Reef off Great Camenoe for drifting. On VG, hit Spring Bay. The three bays you can walk from there, and swim to the Baths, are great fun. The outer reef at Mahoe Bay is cool when things are calm. Tortola is a much bigger island than St. John and most of the beaches are exposed to north. Respect the swell and surf if it is up! Cheers, RickG S/V Echoes, 2003 Beneteau 423 Grenada

The whole right (west) side is about done, but there's still some decent coral and a good amount of fish to the left side. You want it to be calm so you can keep to the shallow water. We saw a lot of parrotfish of varying sizes, few yellowtails, a couple of others.
