British Virgin Islands

Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Marina Cay, Virgin Gorda, Coopers Island, Salt Island and Bomba Shack, all places that added to the amazing time we had throughout the BVI's. Starting in Road Town, Tortola (mainly to find a replacement inverter) we took the BVI's on straight away with a quick couple of tours of the small town. Once we had exauhsted all the Road Town had to offer we moved on to a little island call Jost Van Dyke. Prisine waters and the soggy dollar beach bar more or less made this place, consisting of incredibly busy days flooded with day charter boats.

From Jost Van Dyke we moved on to Virgin Gorda to visit the baths. Nothing in words can describe how amazing these kind of places are so there will be a number of pictures to follow.
From Virgin Gorda we headed for Salt Island where lay the much desired wreck dive of the RMS Rohne. We spent the afternoon after arrival with a quick dive on the bow of the boat with inent to finish it off the next day. We spent to entire following day diving on the wreck with our starting dive at about 75/80 ft. Once we had finished our diving we set sail for Tortola to attend the famous Bomba Shack Full Moon party. The Bomba shack is more or less made up of old spare tin and number plates with drift wood structure, all that can be said was it was an interesting 'cultural experience'.

I know this is a fairly bland explination of what we did but the photos are the best way to describe everything.

Over and Out,
