It's just easier... to SCUBA Dive in the US Virgin Islands

The world-class coral reefs that surround the US Virgin Islands provide excellent Caribbean SCUBA diving opportunities for both beginners and more experienced divers.

St Croix offers the great SCUBA Diving at Buck Island Reef National Monument, Frederiksted Pier, Salt River Canyon and the coral walls at Cane Bay.

St. John's favorite SCUBA diving locations feature dramatic rock formations and caves for more experienced divers at Carvel Rock and Eagle Shoals.

SCUBA Diving on St. Thomas has something for everyone with coral reefs, pinnacles, tunnels, sandy bottoms full of exotic fish, 'Submarine Alley' and even several boat wrecks. You'll dive Andreas Reef, Cartanza Sr - a WWII cargo wreck, Coki Beach for stingrays and pufferfish, Cow and Calf Rocks - with their arches and secret caves, Frenchcap, Grassco Junction, Hans Lollik Island, Major General Rogers Wreck, Thatch Cay tunnels and Grass & Congo Cays. Night diving is popular at Flat Cay.

The following hotels offer SCUBA dive packages along with some of the best dive shops in the Caribbean. Check the websites or email for details and availability.
