★★★★☆ Frederiksted Pier
One of the top macro dives anywhere! Scattered ruins and columns are coral encrusted and provide habitat for many types of shallow sea life. The pier is 1526ft/465m long so lots to discover with a gradual westerly decline. Perfect for snorkeling & non-certified divers too.
★★★★☆ Shallow Wrecks at Butler Bay
Made up of four individual wrecks all resting in the sandy bottom with depths ranging from 50-90ft/15-27m. The Suffolk Maid trawler, Virgin Islander oil barge, North Wind tugboat, & Aegir Habitat cylinder. Two mooring lines are available, one on the North Wind tug & other on the Suffolk Maid trawler.
★★★★★ Armageddon
Apocalyptic mayhem at 80ft/24m, remnants of the old Frederiksted pier that was destroyed in Hurricane Hugo were dumped on this site. Lots of beams, tires and twisted steel to explore. Some reef sharks get a little close on this dive. Sea floor is at 101ft/30m.
★★★★☆ Tres Amigos
Tres Amigos is the very end of the Frederiksted Pier where you can explore the growth and fish that call the 3 large concrete columns home. The depth is 90ft/27m and its approximately 1550ft/470m from the shoreline. Its a long kick out, so best to explore from a boat.
★★★★★ Cane Bay
Accessible from north shore road at Cane Bay Beach. 600ft/200m kick out to buoy at depth 25ft/7.5m, steep slope to 65ft/20m, then a vertical wall dropping down to over 2,000ft/600m. It’s a beautiful dive. Sometimes reef sharks at the drop off. Be on alert if you are spearing lionfish.
★★★★☆ King’s Alley
King’s Alley is 45 to 100 feet and next to the dive site King’s Reach Reef. There is a graduated slope of coral, sponges, and various saltwater fish. This site is great for beginners to advanced due to the underwater topography. Take care in the ascent as there are many boats in the area.
★★★★★ Deep Wrecks at Bulter Bay
The Deep Wrecks of Butler Bay rest at depths from 70-100 ft/21-30m. This site contains two shipwrecks, the Rosaomaira, a 177 ft/54m long freighter, and the Coakley Bay, an old tugboat. Ships are close to each other & sitting upright for easy exploration and photos. Mooring line is tied to the Coakley Bay.
★★★★☆ North Star
West of Cane Bay, there are two profiles - east and west. To the east, it is nearly vertical in places. To the west, there are several spur and groove coral formations. This site is accessible by shore or boat. A short narrow path cut through the brush along shoreline provides access.
★★★★★ Sprat Hole
Sprat Hole is a shallow dive site from 25-40 ft/8-24m with a reef and sandy bottom. Its named after the nearby Sprat Hall Plantation which overlooks it from shore. Head west for a gradual decline to deeper depths of 60ft/18m. Great for beginners and non-certified divers.
★★★★☆ Cables
Spectacular patch reef with cables crisscrossing through coral and sponge growth. The surrounding area is mostly sandy bottom, so all of the wildlife congregates on the patch reef.
★★★★☆ Emerald Gardens St Croix USVI
Emerald Gardens is neighbor to Cane Bay’s The Wall dive site. Its also home to Seabiscuit, carousal horse, which lies at a depth of 30ft/10m. Head north to a slope to 60ft/18m then The Wall begins and drops past recreation limits! (about 13,000 ft /3962m deep!)
★★★★☆ Triton’s Anchor
The anchor is sitting loose on the seafloor in about 25 feet of water. It is believed that the anchor may be a small ship’s boat anchor or a small boat’s bower anchor. The date range is estimated to be 17th to 19th century.
