Carvel Rock (sometimes spelled Carval Rock [1]) is an uninhabited islet of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, less than 2 acres (8,100 m2) in size. It lies at the southern edge of the archipelago, south of and roughly between Ginger Island and Cooper Island.
The waters around it are a scuba diving site, but its sheer cliffs and lack of a beach make landing practically impossible. [2] [3] [4]
Flora and fauna
Sponge-covered boulders and fire coral create habitat for variety of fish — green morays, French grunts, blue tang, whitespotted filefish to name a few. [5] Divers reported observing sharks, barracuda, moray eels, lobsters, red lip blennies, amberjacks, groupers, queen triggerfish and black triggerfish, jewelfish, gobies, damselfish, mackerels, kingfish, trumpetfish, spotted drums and high-hat triplefins.
