About Dog Island
Dog Island is a shallow USVI marine sanctuary reef with large fan corals, healthy coral growth, and plenty of crevices for small marine life. It feels like a relaxed nature dive rather than a hard-edge site, with calm conditions and chances to see hawksbill turtles, stingrays, and a broad mix of Caribbean reef life. It is an easy place to spend a low-stress morning in the water.
