Traditional inhabitants of the Caribbean Sea are also common here, including but not limited to nurse sharks, moray eels, barracuda, eagle rays, groupers, spiny lobsters, etc. In case you’re looking for large marine mammals, British Virgin Islands are not the best place to meet them. You will meet many dolphins at the majority of dive sites here, but don’t expect these creatures to be very interested in your personality. British Virgin Islands, however, compensate this fact with unforeseen coral reefs due to the ban on reef anchoring.
