St. Croix SCUBA Diving / Snorkeling
Tours
St. Croix is a diver’s paradise. Where else in the
Caribbean can you dive a Wall, a shipwreck, a reef, and a pier all on the same island?
In addition, St. Croix offers both shore and boat
diving, so no matter how you choose to dive, St. Croix has got you covered.
On the west end you can dive the Frederiksted pier or
dive on several shipwrecks. In Cane Bay 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 and
Frederiksted. Skin
Diving magazine 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 very popular as well.

St. Croix also offers some of the

snorkeling in the world.
Buck Island, famous for its incredible natural beauty
and its underwater snorkeling trails, is one of only two underwater National
Monuments in the United States. Buck Island snorkeling tours are offered by
several charter sailing companies.
