View Into The Blue,[1] an underwater camera company, operates a live stream underwater webcam at Cooper Island. It can be viewed online or in the lobby of the Cooper Island Beach Club.

The island lies adjacent to "wreck alley", a popular wreck diving site in the British Virgin Islands where a number of vessels have been deliberately sunk as dive sites. A local dive store near the beach club rents tanks to certified scuba divers.
