Carvel Rock (sometimes called Carval Rock) is a small, rocky island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It's a tiny place, less than 2 acres in size, and no one lives there. Even though it's small, it's a popular spot for scuba diving because of its interesting underwater world.
Exploring Carvel Rock
Carvel Rock is mostly made of steep cliffs. This means it's almost impossible to land a boat there or walk on a beach. Instead, people visit the rock by boat to explore the ocean around it.
A Scuba Diver's Paradise
The waters around Carvel Rock are clear and full of marine life. Scuba divers love to visit this spot. They can see colorful fish, coral reefs, and other amazing creatures underwater. It's like a natural aquarium!
Where is Carvel Rock?
This little island is located in the beautiful Caribbean Sea. It sits just east of two other islands: Lovango Cay and Congo Cay. These islands are all part of the U.S. Virgin Islands territory.
Carvel Rock on TV!
Carvel Rock even made an appearance on a famous TV show! It was featured in the very first episode of The Amazing Race 25. In the show, the teams competing had to climb across the top of the rock. After their climb, they had to bravely jump off the rock into the ocean below. It was an exciting challenge!
