Dive-site story
Located on the western coast of St. Croix, this working cruise ship dock transforms into one of the Caribbean's premier macro and night diving locations when ships are not in port. Divers descend around massive concrete pilings blanketed in dense colonies of sponges, cup corals, and tunicates. The flat, sandy bottom beneath the structure shelters specialized critters adapted to artificial reef habitats, while the shallows offer easy access straight from the shoreline.
Extensive piling structures densely coated in colorful encrusting sponges and gorgonians
Celebrated macro habitat harboring seahorses, frogfish, and cryptic crustaceans
Exceptional night diving terrain frequented by foraging octopuses, squid, and hunting tarpon
