Ginger Steps

One of the best reef dives in the British Virgin Islands. Ginger Steps combines two unusual features. The deeper portion of the dive tumbles down in three distinct ledges (the "steps" which give the site its name) to the deep water bottom at about 92 feet. Facing out to the deep water, there is always an excellent chance of seeing deepwater pelagic fish. At the top, the reef contains two large arenas of sand, surround by coral with ledges and ridges. Stingray and shellfish can often be found in the sand, whilst lobster, octopus and moray eels frequently can be found around the edges. By boat only. Site is in the sheltered crook of the island on the south west of Ginger Island, on the eastern side of the bay. Approximately 30 minutes by boat from Road Town, or 20 minutes from East End. Ginger Steps is also known as Ginger Steppes.
