Shore Dive Site Options
(make any of them a night dive!)
Frederiksted Pier
One of the most iconic dives in St. Croix! A well-known muck dive that offers a little bit of everything for divers and snorklers alike. Small creatures like nudibranchs, seahorses, batfish, and shrimp hide along the sandy bottom and within the sponges and corals on the pier's pillars. Beautiful eagle rays, tarpon, and schools of fish swim alongside as you make your way down the pier. If you're coming to dive in St. Croix, you can't miss this one!
Cane Bay
Most popular beach dive on St. Croix's north shore. Accessible from North Shore Road. 200 yard surface swim to the wall where you go over a vertical wall drop that extends to over 13,600 feet. Beautiful wall dive with reef sharks out in the blue. Black coral, pelagic and tropical fish everywhere! Enjoy a day at the beach or lunch at The Landing Beach Bar afterwards.
North Star
A little further west from Cane Bay, North Shore is another site along the wall that offers a more sloping reef until you hit the vertical drop. North Star is a wonderful night dive as well. The entry is more rocky and can be difficult in the occassional rough waves. Black corals, sea fans bigger than us, and barrel sponges 4 to 6’ wide!
Butler Bay
A sloping ledge that leads to shallow reef structure with schools of fish, sponge gardens, and beautiful corals. Extends along the bank of the island. On very calm days you can surface swim to the Butler Bay wrecks or Armageddon.
