Angelfish Reef sits off the western point of Norman Island, just south of Privateer Bay, where a gently sloping reef steps down into a drop-off. Calm, shallow and full of life, it’s a classic BVI check-out dive and an easy reef snorkel.

Coral heads and gorgonians give way to sandy channels and a wall that falls from about 15 to 45 feet. It’s a relaxed site where you’re likely to share the water with turtles and rays.

Because it’s protected and easy to navigate, it’s a favorite first dive of the trip — and it’s right around the corner from the Caves for an easy morning double.

Captain’s note: A great first or check-out dive — protected and shallow, with easy navigation. Pair it with the Caves just around the point for a relaxed morning in the water.

Getting there: Right off Privateer Bay on Norman’s western side.
