Dive BVI: A Caribbean Reef Adventure introduces young explorers to BVI marine life, the RMS Rhone, safe diving and snorkeling, marine protection, and ocean stewardship.
How do you inspire the next generation of divers and ocean stewards before they’re old enough to put on a scuba tank?
For longtime British Virgin Islands resident and Dive BVI COO Jeff McNutt, the answer starts with curiosity, creativity and a sense of adventure.
He has created Dive BVI: A Caribbean Reef Adventure, a new children’s coloring and activity book designed to introduce young explorers to the extraordinary underwater world of the British Virgin Islands while teaching some of the principles that help divers and snorkelers enjoy—and protect—it.
Now available on Amazon, Dive BVI: A Caribbean Reef Adventure combines coloring and activities with age-appropriate educational content inspired by the reefs, marine life, history and diving culture of the BVI.
Young readers can discover fish facts and Caribbean marine life, learn about the fascinating history of the RMS Rhone, explore marine protection areas, and discover why healthy reefs and responsible human behavior go hand in hand.
The book also introduces children to safe diving and snorkeling practices and, importantly, encourages them to become good ocean stewards—developing respect for marine animals and their habitats while learning how their own actions can help protect the underwater world.
For Jeff, who has spent years living in the British Virgin Islands and working within its dive industry, the book is an opportunity to share the experiences and lessons of the BVI with a younger audience.
Rather than simply providing pages to color, Dive BVI: A Caribbean Reef Adventure gives parents, diving families and educators an opportunity to start conversations about marine life, reef conservation, diving history and responsible ocean recreation.
For the scuba industry, it also represents something particularly important: an invitation to the next generation.
Today’s child coloring a Caribbean reef, discovering the story of the RMS Rhone or learning how to behave responsibly around marine life could become tomorrow’s snorkeler, scuba diver, marine scientist, dive professional—or lifelong advocate for the ocean.
Dive BVI: A Caribbean Reef Adventure is now published and available on Amazon.
