About this site
Chikuzen is a Korean refrigerator ship that went down in the early 1980s and now lies in the British Virgin Islands at a depth of 85ft (25.9 metres). It is possibly the most exposed dive site in the BVI, and the current is strong.
The wreck acts as an oasis for rays, sharks and larger game fish. On some dives the ship is hard to see because of the sheer numbers of marine life that surround it.
