St. Croix SCUBA Diving /
Snorkeling
St. Croix SCUBA diving is some of the
best in the Caribbean...
if not the world!
You can access the famous "Cane Bay Wall" right from the beach.
Historic Christiansted is where a number of St Croix dive shops are based and many boat
dives depart right from Christiansted harbor. Skin Diving calls the U.S.
Virgin Islands "the most beautiful area in the world" for diving. St.
Croix's north shore wall features numerous underwater caves, tunnels,
and pinnacles. The 1,000-foot Salt River Canyon off of St. Croix is
popular as well.

underwater National Monuments in the United States.
