Sandy Ground is the practical scuba base, with Scuba Shack at Roys Bayside Grill offering scheduled one- and two-tank guided boats, training and private charters. Quest markets a partnered dive product departing Sandy Ground Wharf. Local operators select sheltered reefs, deliberately sunk wrecks and, when training and conditions allow, more demanding wall profiles. This is not a self-directed shore-diving destination. Anguilla fisheries guidance requires local operator accompaniment in marine parks. Operator offers; marine park rules.
