British Virgin Islands

Parham Town

Parham Town on Virgin Gorda is a small base near the waters of the Caribbean Sea. Most scuba diving in the area is organized through local dive operators, with trips out to nearby offshore sites where visibility and conditions can vary by season and weather. Expect a mix of reef-and-rock diving and sheltered spots depending on the day, with typical Caribbean marine life such as reef fish; what you’ll see most often depends on the specific site. Since Parham Town itself is not a large resort strip, planning ahead for boat times, gear, and entry points will make day trips smoother.
