Flintstones is a rocky intermediate boat dive in the BVI.
Flintstones is a West Dog boat dive built around large volcanic boulders, ledges, and crevices. It rewards slow searching through the rocks for fish, lobsters, eels, and the occasional larger visitor instead of chasing a big reef panorama. The site sits in the intermediate range, with a deeper profile than a casual reef shallows dive, so a calm boat plan and tidy buoyancy make it easier to enjoy.
