Willy T (Wreck)

The well-known floating bar/restaurant was rendered immobile by Hurricane Irma in 2017. After being cleaned and adorned by the non-profit organization Beyond the Reef, it was intentionally sunk in August 2019 to serve as an engaging and enjoyable dive spot. This underwater attraction offers plenty of photo opportunities, where you can strut your stuff on the plank, grab a refreshing drink at the bar, but be mindful of any swashbuckling pirates!

Above the sunken wreck, divers will have the chance to observe schools of vibrant yellowtail snapper and creole wrasse. Meanwhile, in the sandy areas, keep an eye out for flounders, small crabs, and shrimp. Additionally, the nearby coral canyon is teeming with a diverse range of reef fish.

Located in the British Virgin Islands, specifically close to Road Town, VG 1110, this dive site boasts crystal-clear waters with an impressive visibility of 17 meters. With a maximum depth of 20 meters, it is a suitable destination for beginner divers looking to explore the underwater wonders of this picturesque country.
