Alice in Wonderland, also known as Alice's Wonderland, is a reef dive site located just off Ginger Island in the British Virgin Islands. The reef is characterised by massive coral structures, winding ridges, canyons, and three large steps that drop away into deeper water, creating the maze-like environment that gives the site its name. Depths range from about 12 m (40 ft) at the shallowest point to around 23 m (75 ft) at the bottom, with the site rated intermediate, though it is sometimes considered accessible to novice divers depending on conditions.
The terrain features extensive fields of soft coral on the shallower step, along with notable formations of star coral and brain coral throughout the reef structure. The nooks and crannies of the large coral structures reward careful exploration, while time spent looking out into the blue from the deeper steps offers chances to spot larger animals passing in open water.
Marine life at the site includes reef sharks, eagle rays, barracuda, snappers, pufferfish, parrotfish, Black Durgeon, oceanic triggerfish, and schools of sardines. Currents at Alice in Wonderland are generally light, though the site's exposure to open ocean means the surface can be rolly, and conditions should be assessed with a divemaster before diving.
The site is reached by boat, with Ginger Island lying roughly 35 minutes offshore. Due to ocean exposure, surface conditions can vary, and the site's depth and occasional surge make it most suitable for intermediate divers, though novices may dive it in calm conditions.
