★★★★☆ Cartanza Wreck
Beginner wreck dive where divers will see a small shipwreck of the Cartanza, which is broken into three pieces. 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!
★★★★★ 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!
★★★★☆ 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.
★★★★★ French Cap Pinnacle
French Cap is absolutely a staff personal favorite dive site! It is close to the south drop, so there is always a surprise waiting for us; big fish and lots of them. This site is deeper than our typical sites, nearing 100 feet, and the dive takes place around a central pinnacle.
★★★★☆ 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!
★★★★☆ Cabrita Pinnacle
Amazing pinnacle in Great Bay. Shallow and easy dive site and perfect for every level of diving. A dive site that not everyone visits because not everyone knows about it.
★★★★☆ Stragglers Deep
Beautiful coralreef outside of Stragglers. It takes around 5 min to get to this amzing part of the reef. The depth is around 60-70ft. Huge untouched corals with a lot of life.
★★★★☆ 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.
★★★★★ Buck Island Point (Submarine Alley)
Buck island point can be dived both as a stationary dive returning to the boat which would remain at the mooring, or as a drift dive into Shipwreck cove and finishing on a different mooring. The max depth is 80ft and average depth of 65ft.
★★★★☆ Packet Rock (Wreck)
A very unusual shipwreck lies at this mini pinnacle. More accurately, the cargo of a ship. Divers come here to dig for buried treasure and are guaranteed to find broken pottery, pottery shards, and all sorts of other treasures!
★★★★☆ Shark Bowl
Shark 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.
★★★★☆ Turtle Cove
Turtle Cove is a beautiful, calm site that is perfect for beginners. With vibrant blue waters and turtles galore, it is the perfect place to learn how to dive or snorkel in the sun!
★★★★★ Dive Flag Rock
Dive Flag Rock is a fascinating wall dive located just off of Buck Island. There are often curious Caribbean reef and nurse sharks that follow us on the dive! Keep your eyes peeled for flying spotted eagle rays and stingrays that frequent the area. Site image shows 1 of 3 available mooring balls.
