Diving in the BVI & Beyond

Many crewed catamarans in the BVI offer scuba diving directly from the yacht, with gear onboard and a certified dive instructor as part of the crew. On some boats, this is included at no additional cost for certified divers. Others charge a per-dive fee, usually up to $75 per person per dive—still a convenient and private way to explore underwater compared to shore-based operators.

Finding a Dive Ready Charter

While you can filter search for yachts that offer scuba diving, the best way to find the right fit is to contact your Sheer Yachting Broker directly. We can quickly send you a shortlist of boats that match your travel dates, budget, and diving preferences—saving you hours of scrolling. We also know which crews are passionate divers themselves and can take you to the best, less-visited sites.

What to Expect on a Dive-Ready Charter

• Dive gear and compressor onboard (varies by yacht)

• Certified dive instructor or divemaster as part of your crew

• Private, small-group dives right from the yacht’s swim platform or tender

• Access to pristine reefs, vibrant coral gardens, and exciting wrecks

• Flexibility to dive when conditions are perfect—no rigid schedules

Whether you want to dive every day or mix it in with snorkeling, paddleboarding, and island-hopping, I’ll help you find a yacht that makes it effortless.
