"Spent a total of 4 days with Capt. Colin who finished Deirdre's PADI SCUBA certification and also took us out to
Virgin Gorda with another couple. Colin was a blast! His knowledge of the area and what it has to offer made the difference between a good
trip and a great one. He's got good stories too.
We are already trying to rally our closest friends to schedule another trip of drinking and diving, (not in that order). When we get close
to nailing down dates, yourself and Colin will be our first and second phone calls."

Featured in photos around the World, the "Bubbly Pool" is still a closely guarded secret of Jost Van Dyke!!! Nature's Jacuzzi, this naturally formed tidal pool is located behind jagged cliffs facing the
open ocean coming from the North. When the North swell is up, this is absolutely a National Geographic experience as you wade in the pool and fearfully watch as the rolling sea comes at you with full force!!! Just at the last second as
it looks as if the wave will go straight over you, the unique formation outside the pool prematurely breaks the wave and the resulting "bubbles" fill up the pool and give everyone a reason to be glad to be alive!!! The Bubbly Pool is a
place that makes everyone smile. It is a short hike from where we stop the boat… through Mangroves, a Wild Sage forest, and a little amateur-amateur rock climbing. For the more adventurous, serious free-style rock climbing affords
unbelievable photo opportunities of the whole area as well as a visit to the "Eagle's Nest" and to the "Mighty Blow Hole".
Rodale's Scuba Diving Magazine 2001 Readers Choice Awards recently recognized the BVI’s as among the best snorkeling and diving locations in the Caribbean. White Bay Villas will provide you a premier location for your Caribbean Scuba Diving and Snorkeling.
Fishing in the British Virgin Islands is world class, has been for years, and, home to the world-record Blue Marlin. The BVI’s are also home to the famous North Sea
Drop above Tortola which claims the highest number of Blue Marlin strikes per day of anywhere in the world. It is also the second largest ocean depth in the world. Swarms of Wahoo, Dolphin Fish, Tuna (black and yellow fin), Sailfish, White Marlin and
Kingfish hungrily feed around the Islands of the BVI's. OR..just throw a line and fish off the shore! White Bay Villas is centrally located to provide you access for the finest Caribbean Fishing.
Rent a dinghy. Visit Colin, with BVI Eco Tours, for dinghy rentals. Explore the shoreline of this beautiful little island.

"Just wanted to drop a line and say how wonderful the Cottage was.
Everything was as advertised, something unusual these days, and the info packet that Bonnie
supplied was dead on. Ira Moses was most helpful for our trip to and from the Airport. Also
the recommendation for a jeep rental was perfect and well within reason on rates. We could
not believe the dinning, five star dinning beach side without all the formality. Truly
culinary ecstasy. We can honestly say that this was the best vacation we've ever had and would and will
recommend White Bay Villas and the Island to all."
With Kindest Regards, Mark & Therese Powers
