About Ginger Steps
Ginger Steps is a stepped BVI reef with broad ledges, white sand between the drops and a deeper outer step that gives the site its wall-like feel. It suits intermediate divers and confident snorkelers who want a clear route, healthy coral and enough depth change to keep the dive interesting across the whole profile. The site is usually run as a boat dive and is sheltered enough to feel calmer than more exposed BVI walls, but the deeper step still rewards steady buoyancy and a controlled ascent. Expect reef fish, sponges, sea fans, sharks and turtles around the coral ledges.
