Planning a trip next March - We will be hosting a business group (non
divers) but two off us would like to take extra time (several days) to
dive. Requesting opinions on the following.

1. Places to stay on Tortola or Virgin Gorda for business group. Their
requirements - beachs, shopping, maybe golf, some adventure - nice
accomedations and good food.

2. Places to stay on Tortola or Virgin Gorda for divers, not too picky,
eat sleep dive - eat sleep dive! Good location in proximaty to best
dive sites.

3. Best Dive Operations

4. Best Dive Sites -- please don't tell me anything more about the
Rhone.

5. Is it possible to just do 3 or 4 nights on a charter focused on
diving, if so with whom?

6. Recommended charter for day sailing with group of about 20?

Thanks in advance.

Not much golf in the BVIs - too hilly. Beaches are all small - again, too
hilly. There are small beaches at Cane Garden Bay, Coopers Island, former
Billy Bones Restaurant, in front of Foxy's on Jost Van Dyke.

Shopping is pretty much limited to Road Town, West End, and Bitter End Yacht
Club.

Country is small - many good dive sites close to where you are staying. No
wall diving - mostly sea mounts.
