Snorkeling
& Scuba Diving Services
St.
Thomas offers plenty of shallow reef sites teeming
with colorful tropicals and tons of soft corals.
Sites such as Cow and Calf Rocks provide caves,
caverns and swimthroughs, while Sail Rock has
fast current thrills and the chance to see large
critters.
Diving St. John is quite similar to St. Thomas.
Lots of dives with extended bottom times. Check
out the Major General Rogers, a Coast Guard tender
ship, intentionally sunk in just 65' of water
as an artificial reef. You will be amazed at the
swarms of schooling fish and large barracuda patrol
the wreck on a regular basis.
What so different about diving St. Croix? Walls!
Sites such as Cane Bay Drop-Off provide walls
starting in as little as 40'. Along the crest
of the walls, hard and soft corals are found in
abundance. St. Croix also offers a great selection
of wreck and shallow reef dives.
