The Caves at Norman Island

Ok, so this isn't a St. John snorkel spot... but it's only a short boat ride away. " The Caves " on Norman Island,
BVI is a fantastic snorkel adventure.

Getting There: The only way to get there is by boat... or submarine. A number of private charters visit this spot, or you could charter a power boat yourself. A dinghy should not be brought here from St. John.

In Our Words:You can also find treasure there, but it's illegal on Norman Island so don't tell any one. You can find gold coins and pirates come there and leave their treasure on purpose.There's also a restaurant/boat called the Willy T around the corner. It can be cool and scary. The biggest end cave is a big dark scary one. When you snorkel into it you can hardly see anything, it's about 20 - 25 ft long and there's a little tiny rocky beach at the end where you can fit two people on it. The middle cave is the fun cave where you don't get hurt and you don't get nervous and there's a whole bunch of cool stuff to do there. The third cave is the treasure cave where people found the treasure. We didn't find treasure, but we found a boat cushion.

We saw a huge tuna in the treasure cave. There is a really long rocky beach by the treasure cave and a tiny cave that connects to the treasure cave at the end of the big rocky beach. We saw parrot fish, blue tangs, and a lot of seaweed floating on top of the water (hurricane Irene just passed and Katia was not far away).
