    DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY CHARTS WITH SITES ON IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS?

    Does anyone have any sites on in the Virgin Islands both USVI and BVI - Cornelius sent a nice map but alas its too blurry to establish any names outside of San Juan and then there are fifty islands around there. I would be interested in anything that looks like fun.
    Thanks

    I have a new (2004) chart kit for the BVI. Over the last 20 years I have done probably 500 dives in the BVI None around Jost Van Dyke, and none
    near Anageda. The only dive I have done near Virgin Gorda, is the Chikuzen wreck, about 10 miles offshore. As far as Tortola, Cooper, Ginger, Salt, Peter,
    and Norman Islands I have done them alll. My chart is a navagational chart and does not give dive locations. If you tell me what site you are interested in
    I am sure I can get you the Lats and Longs.

    Hi Chris - thanks for the info - Im looking for sites on wrecks preferable from or around Jost Van Duke and Western End Tortola then the USA Virgin Islands. I am aware that no wrecks are of value on Anegada as theyn were coming from the old world to the new to collect so had supplies and slaves etc, no coinage as such. If you thi nk you have some sites it would be great.

    Hi James,
    I am sorry, I know of no wrecks near the western part of Tortola that might contain coinage.
    Once in the mid 80s I dove the HMS Rhone a day after a tropical storm had passed the area. Everything was stirred up and I found an intact tea saucer, with the name of the ship on it. I was tempted to keep it, but I buried it in the sand.

    The Rhone is a national park - good move, sadly some scuba doo probably nicked it. Anyway wish there was a museum around here!
    Thanks
