Dive Vacations in Anguilla

The fringe of coral reefs and cays surrounding Anguilla, and our island’s transparent turquoise waters make it the Caribbean’s premier destination for snorkeling and diving.

All of our island’s beaches provide access to reefs and rock formations where brightly colored fish can be seen. More celebrated snorkeling spots include Crocus Bay, Shoal Bay East, Junk’s Hole and Sandy Island.

Anguilla’s deeper waters are alive with beauty and history. Our island’s seven marine parks — Dog Island, Prickley Pear, Seal Island Reef System, Little Bay, Sandy Island, Shoal Bay Harbour Reef System and Stoney Bay Marine Park — are home to everything from living limestone walls to century-old shipwrecks.

Many snorkelers prefer to bring their own fins and snorkels, however, if you need to buy or rent equipment, it can be easily obtained. Snorkels and fins are available at most hotels, dive shops, on most charters and at some beaches where either beach operators or casual, beachfront restaurants are located.
