St. Croix SCUBA Diving / Snorkeling
Tours
St. Croix SCUBA diving and snorkeling is some of the best in the
Caribbean...if not in the the entire world!
You can access the famous "Cane Bay Wall" right from the beach.
Historic Christiansted and Frederiksted are where a number of St Croix dive
shops are based and many boat dives depart right from Christiansted harbor. Skin

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 very popular as well.
