Dive-site story
Squidville sits off the north coast of St. Thomas along the sheltered waters near Thatch Cay. The site consists of wide sandy flats interspersed with scattered patch reefs, coral heads, and seagrass beds, providing an ideal staging ground for sandy-bottom foragers and squid schools hovering near the surface.
Frequent encounters with Caribbean reef squid cruising just beneath the surface
Expansive sand plains populated by yellowhead jawfish colonies and garden eels
Sheltered, calm conditions suitable for relaxed photography and macro spotting
