You can think that an artist of the impressionist era had plied their skills at Painted Walls! The walls where two, underwater valleys converge are teaming in colourful sponges as well as soft and hard corals, looking remarkably similar to an artist’s pallet! The main inhabitants at Painted Walls are nurse sharks, barracuda and lobsters.This BVI dive site with depths of 30 to 50 feet is a great for beginner and advanced divers.
Near Dead Chest is a beautiful dive where parallel passages and vertical walls run perpendicular to the island. Three prominent fingers extend out to create color splashed canyons. The unusual underwater landscape and abundance of fish make Painted Walls one of the most popular dives in the BVI. The rocky ridges are coated with orange, purple, red, green and yellow encrusting coral accented by many hard and soft corals bouquets.
