Wreck Dive Old Willy-T, Peter Island, BVI

In 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated the British Virgin Islands, including the legendary floating pirate ship bar known lovingly as the Willy-T. On August 7th, 2019 the Willy-T was purposely sunk off Peter Island. The Beyond the Reef organization created this underwater art reef to include 3 airplanes and other derelict materials currently lying abandoned throughout the BVI as a result of Hurricane Irma. The BVI tour operators that will offer dive packages have committed to asking each diver who explores these new dive sites to donate $5 (€4.49), which will go back into the community through an initiative that teaches local children to swim. This pledge will shed light on both the importance of swim safety as well as respect for the ocean and threats that loom over its future.
