Max depth on the wreck is 41 feet, with option to explore deeper reef extending to 60 feet. Many divers and snorkelers enjoy shipwreck cove as it is protected from wind, and there are many moorings.
★★★★☆ Ledges of Little St. James
This is a fairly easy dive made up of ledges and overhangs from Little St James Island that are teeming with coral. This site can also be a good snorkel and night dive opportunity with an average depth of 20-40 feet!
★★★★☆ Christmas Cove
Christmas Cove is located on Great St James and is perfect for beginners. Divers will explore the reef in the middle of the cove, which grows off a small rocky island. This is a wonderful site for Discover Scuba Divers and Open Water students. Christmas cove is a No-TAKE area.
★★★★★ Cow Rock
Cow rock is one of the most recognized dive sites in St. Thomas. Small caves/swim throughs and beautiful elkhorn corals are the dominant features. It is definitely a favorite!
★★★★☆ Navy Barges
Navy Barges is a site containing two shallow barges that are a haven for marine life. They were used as accommodation barges during the 2nd World War. After the war, they were used as a Navy training area & finally sunk in 1961. The swim throughs are perfect for avid photographers!
★★★★☆ Coral Bowl
Fish Bowl is a natural sand-filled bowl within a ring of volcanic boulders, covered with gorgonians and filled with corals, sponges, sea rods, and sea fans more common in deeper water. This site does get to 70+ feet/21+m and therefore is best for more intermediate level divers.
★★★★☆ Flag Pole Little St James
This is a shallow dive on the northwest side of Little St James. It is perfect for beginners to explore the reef and get a glimpse of local turtles. This reef is an ideal nursery for all types of fish, so juveniles are common here.
★★★★☆ Stragglers' Reef
Nicely protected on the lee side of Great St James, Stragglers is the perfect option on a rough, stormy day! The dive starts in a small, but very pretty, system of canyons where you can find great photo opportunities. There is also a beautiful reef wall section teeming with life.
