If you’re a diver looking for an eco-adventure, then consider taking a trip to the British Virgin Islands to tour the Kodiak Queen. The Kodiak Queen was launched in 1940 as a U.S. Naval fuel barge, and it was one of just five ships to survive Pearl Harbor. After its survival, it was transformed into a fishing boat.

Mike Cochran, a historian, found the Kodiak Queen in a junkyard in 2012, and he underwent a massive effort to rescue it. He decided, after receiving funding, to turn the Kodiak Queen into a creative artificial reef. The Kodiak Queen is located off the shore of Virgin Gorda, and it is a huge attraction for snorkelers and scuba divers from around the world.
