I know it's located off of Virgin Gorda but I can't figure out exactly where it is. Can someone help? And, are there day moorings?

Hi Amy.

The dive site has two moorings balls ( as of last week).

The site is located very close to the mountain point dive site, a few hundred meters south west in almost 60 feet of water.

How would you get to it from Saba Rock. Beside the obvious "by water"

Trick question?

No,not a trick question. I figured someone would make a joke... I thought it was up by Saba Rock but am trying to get the location so we can snorkel there in a couple weeks.

Are there mooring balls there now? We might stop by for a look on our way to North Sound. If you look at the photos (on their website) in one of them you can see the GPS coordinates.

We snorkeled here on Friday, and there were two mooring balls. Easy to find on Northwestern tip of Virgin Gorda--my chart called it Long Bay. Great Snorkel! We could see everything perfectly! Thank you, Sir Richard!!
