I've been to Tortola with the bride so I figure that's where he's most likely going as it's a popular place.
It's the best of the BVI and other neighbor islands. It's a nice class act. The sailboat harbor is stunning. I spent hours just checking the boats out.
All that doesn't matter to sharks. Sharks are all over the Caribbean. They are everywhere is all sizes and flavors. The sub 50# are pesky PIA. They come around like a swarm of flies unlike the bigger guys [usually].
If you don't have the head for it don't go in the water or find someone you really trust who knows what he's doing to be with you. It's not good to be around sharks and scared.
If anyone does there's a great snorkel area on one end of the island. It's about 3/4 mile to the left of where that 1960s beached movie set Lincoln Continental is. It's a popular beautiful uncrowded beach. A 20 minute walk to the rock wall where's there no more sand beaches is great freediving with all kinds of fish that are cruising through. It's a steep shelf of rock and you're sometimes floating above the deep blue sea.
"top of the hills" is a must do
Plenty of nice restaurants and easy to drive around finding them. People hanging out all over. Tortola is a great place for couples and pretty good for singles.
I'd rather go to Tortola than do the Aruba scene.
