About this site
Blonde Rock is an underwater pinnacle located between Dead Chest Island and Salt Island in the British Virgin Islands, rising to a shallowest point of around 10 feet (3 m) and descending to roughly 54–65 feet (18 m) of depth over a rocky bottom.
The terrain features a distinctive amphitheatre formation at the start of the dive, along with ledges, ridges, and both large and small rock overhangs. The site offers swim-throughs worth seeking out, and the healthy coral reef provides an interesting topography throughout.
The overhangs and ledges shelter moray eels and lobster, and turtles have been spotted at the site as well.

Blonde Rock is rated an advanced dive, reflecting the nature of the pinnacle and the need to manage conditions carefully. Divers should check in the ledges and ridges for critters and make use of the swim-throughs for the full experience of the site.
