This dive site, Flintstones, is named after the impressive underwater topography dominated by huge boulders and rock formations reminiscent of a prehistoric landscape. Divers navigate through these interesting formations, exploring numerous ledges, cracks, and 'hidey holes' which provide shelter for various marine life. A torch is recommended to fully appreciate the intricate details and inhabitants within these crevices.
The sandy patches around the rocks are home to stingrays and various gobies. Above the rock formations, divers can observe schools of wrasse, grunts, snappers, and jacks. Within the numerous cracks and crevices, lobsters and eels are commonly found, adding to the site's rich biodiversity.
The best time to visit Flintstones aligns with the dry season in the British Virgin Islands, typically from December to May, offering calm seas and excellent visibility. Divers should bring a torch to investigate the many dark nooks and crannies. The moderate depths and interesting structures also make this site suitable for freedivers and snorkelers who can enjoy the upper reef sections and rock formations.
