Anguilla is famous the world over for its amazingly soft, dazzling white powder beaches. Also its highly select portfolio of ultra-luxurious hotels. And the island also happens to be a superb choice for scuba-diving, with full PADI instruction and equipment rental available.
Diving in Anguilla is incredibly popular thanks to the region's perfect beaches, sandy-bottomed turquoise seas and stacks of neighbouring cays famous for their coral reefs and technicolour undersea world teeming with fish. Whether it’s your first time in a wetsuit, keen to learn the ropes, or you’re a highly experienced diver globetrotting around the world’s best sites, Anguilla boasts an underwater paradise of colourful coral and pristine reefs just waiting to be explored.
You can go diving in Anguilla in multiple different sites around the island but it is the Western end which is one of the most popular. This is because it offers divers the chance to see reefs flash with angelfish and butterfly fish. There are seven marine parks for diving in Anguilla too - Dog Island, Little Bay (great for night dives) and Sandy Island, to name a few, with wall dives, ledge dives and wreck dives all on offer. The newer wrecks have been intentionally sunk, while historic ones include the island’s first underwater heritage site at Stoney Bay Marine Park.
For extraordinary underwater rock formations, the Steps at Little Scrub are a haven for the proficient diver, where abundant marine life includes angelfish, yellowtail snapper, blue tang and barracuda. Anguilla is possibly the ultimate destination for diving in the Caribbean. Come and see for yourself and prepare to be impressed when you opt for a Anguilla diving holiday with Elegant Resorts.
