Comments	While Anguilla is not a dive destination per se, it is well worth diving the area should you be in the vicinity. I have visited the island annually for over two decades now, and dive each time. The coral seems to have stabilized, and there are actually more large fish now than there were about 5 years ago. The islanders sunk a number of wrecks in reasonably shallow water, and these are now beautifully encrusted with a profusion of coral and gorgonians; the wrecks also serve as a magnet for large quantities of fish life and crustaceans. In past years we have seen Mantas, Eagle Rays and Dolphin, along with Ocean Sunfish; this year, we were treated to a school of Atlantic Spadefish. Rob of Vigilant Divers runs a wonderful operation, with immaculate equipment and a superb vessel. Great dive operation!
