Dive-site story
Positioned along the mouth of the underwater canyon on the north shore of St. Croix, this site showcases a plunging vertical wall that descends into oceanic depths. Black coral trees, deep-water lace corals, and immense barrel sponges cling to vertical overhangs, while pelagic species cruise just off the drop-off in the open blue.
Sheer drop-off lined with deepwater wire corals and sea whips
Regular sightings of reef sharks and eagle rays cruising the abyss edge
Caverns and vertical fissures carved into the reef crest

Seasonality
