Dive-site story
Situated along the scenic north coast of St. Croix, Twin Anchors features historical coral-encrusted ship anchors resting among spur-and-groove coral formations. Divers follow rolling coral ridges that gradually descend toward the island's famous northern drop-off. Gentle slopes transition into sandy chutes where garden eels and rays forage, offering classic Caribbean reef topography punctuated by colonial maritime artifacts.
