Santa Monica Rock is a pinnacle which rises from just under 100 feet to just 20 feet below the surface in otherwise open waters.  It is teeming with life and is approximately an acre in total size.  The top of the pinnacle varies in height, and lots of valleys, ridges and ledges give lots of areas to explore.  

Because the dive is in an are of open sea, strong waves mean that the site can only be dived in calm conditions.  The reef is in superb condition and supports a wide array of marine life: sharks, moray eels, lobster, turtle, grouper and others.

By boat only.  Dive site is approximately 1.5 miles southeast of the tip of Norman Island, a few minutes boat ride from The Bight (the popular mooring area on Norman Island), or about half an hour by boat from Road Town.

Like all BVI dive sites, there is a mooring ball placed by the National Parks to tie up to.

Santa Monica Rock is also known as Santa Monica.

Santa Monica Rock

A shallow dive, good for new divers.  The southern portion of the dive gives the opportunity to swim through some canyons where there can be some surge.  Some eagle rays and stingrays, snake eels and moray eels.  Recently (2008/2009) a couple of turtles have taken up residence in the area, and are known to be extremely friendly towards divers, sometimes swimming right through the middle of groups.


By boat only.  Dive is the western tip of Norman Island.  Approximately 4 minutes by boat from the Bight on Norman Island, or about 25 minutes by boat from Nanny Cay on Tortola.
