Sport Diver Magazine Excerpt on St. Croix
"The largest of the USVI, St. Croix, is about 90 miles removed
from its close-knit sister islands. The distance gives St. Croix a different
type of underwater terrain. So while St. Thomas is the most known of the three
islands among tourists and cruise ship guests, St. Croix is the best known to
divers.
No doubt the most popular activity in St. Croix is shore
diving the well-protected Cane Bay reef on the island's north side. On the
short swim out, garden eels can be seen peeking from holes in the sand. After
cruising the shallow reef, you can make your way farther to a descent down the
wall into a land of oddly shaped sponges and clouds of blue tangs.
Out from Cane Bay is Jimmy's Surprise, a pinnacle dive from
45 to 90 feet featuring bright orange and red sponges and corals, and elegant
gorgonians. If the current is running at Jimmy's, nearby Rust-op Twist is a
high-profile formation from 50 to 100 feet that attracts spotted eagle rays.
To the west, Northstar Wall features a drop-off from 40 to 60 feet and an
ancient Danish anchor embedded in the coral.
There are many other great places to dive on the north side
at Davis Bay, and Salt River and around the island's 30 moored sites. Also,
the Frederiksted Pier plays host to wonderful macro life and makes for an
enchanting night dive." |
