St. Croix Reefs
The largest of the three U. S. Virgin Islands, St. Croix is shamefully overlooked by
too many divers. Of the three islands, it alone offers diving's gold standard - wall
dives that start in 30 feet of water and plunge thousands of feet beyond safe diving
depths. It's also one of the best places in the Caribbean for new divers, so it's
anybody's guess why the place isn't crawling with divers.
The 4000 year old eastern and
southeastern bank barrier reef of St. Croix is one of the best developed reef systems in
the tropical Atlantic Caribbean area and is the most extensive reef on the Puerto Rico-
Virgin Islands shelf.
