Comments	Diving in the BVI has been written about extensively, and I have been here many times over the last twenty years. It's usually just decent, fun diving, with good small fish life, corals and fans; some interesting underwater terrain and perhaps one of the more interesting wreck dives: the Rhone. I mainly wanted to mention the CORAL BLEACHING, which effected 50-70% of the hard corals, even at depth. This was a sad shocker: an apparent consequence of the warmest waters that had been seen in the region in the months preceeding our visit (same warm waters that spawned those nasty Hurricanes) It is currently unknown if those coral will survive, and if they do not, the long term effect on the entire reef ecology. As always, Dive BVI is a great operation, and Biras Creek is very pricey, but delivers fabulous food,dwellings, and we love the Boston whalers you can take out to remote snorkeling sites.
