The Dive Shop, located in Sandy Ground, is celebrating its fifteen anniversary. During that time, they spearheaded Anguilla's artificial reef project and the permanent mooring program (to reduce anchor damage to the delicate reefs). Their dive boat, pictured here, is the Kuriala, an Anguillian built, wide-bottom, 40-foot catamaran.

The Dive Shop is a PADI 5-Star facility. They offer a complete range of PADI and SSI certification courses. But you can dive even without the certificates; just take the Resort Course (one morning) and dive under the careful guidance of an instructor.

They are open 7 days a week from 8am to 4pm, with scheduled dives at 9am and 10:30 am daily. The partners are Thomas Peabody and Peter Burling. Griffin Lake is Captain of their Dive Boat, Christine Kay is the Chief Instructor, and Lemira Connor runs the shop. Telephone: 1-264-497-2020.
