Scuba Diving St. Croix (US Virgin Islands)
Scuba diving St. Croix in the US Virgin islands is one of our FAVORITE places of all time to dive!
St. Croix offers so much diversity in terms of types of diving that can be done. From easy shallow dives full of sealife at the Frederiksted Pier, to deeper more adventurous dives on the St. Croix wall or the Deep Wrecks of Butler Bay. In this video Lyell gives you an overview of what St. Croix has to offer below and above the water. As part of the US Virgin Islands, NO PASSPORT is necessary to travel here. Treated as a domestic flight. Also in the era of COVID, many countries are limiting American travelers, and while the US Virgin Islands Government has protocols in place, we can travel and stay and dive there.
Travel is easy. You can fly directly to St. Croix (STX), from the mainland directly from various cities, depending upon the air carrier. Atlanta, GA (Delta) and Miami, FL (American) are the two most popular.
We are providing lots of links below for: Accommodations, What to do/Places to Eat. (For divers and non divers), Dive Sites, and Dive shops with both boat and shore diving capabilities.

Been there 6 times. No words can describe the beauty.
lived there 15 years, my parents, 27 years. The best Dive Spots are not for the meek. Jacks Bay Beach Dive, through the reef cut, on the bottom and timed with the surges, going out, no problem, coming back in, wow man
So iam sitting here watching your very informative video thinking to myself wow I lived here all my life and never have seen this side of my Island So going to sign up for some diving classes like tomorrow. Thanks 🙂

So glad we could inspire you to check out the beautiful underwater areas of your already beautiful island! Best of luck and thanks for your comments!
I was in St. Croix, Frederiksted in October and November of 1989 just hours after hurricane Hugo. I was deployed as a Military Police in the US ARMY. I was actually part of the unit that arrested the Police Chief with the FBI. From that time on I have always wanted to a dive. But life happens marriage and family. So all my kids are grown and out on their own. So, last year I got my diving certification up to Advance Open Water Diver, with a few specialties courses as well. This year I got to go to Key West, FL and dove on the Vandenberg. We are looking at going to either Saint Croix or Cozumel.

A trip to St. Croix is always worth it! Thanks for your comment and thanks for visiting our channel!
I dove the Wall in Cozumel, the St Croix wall is epic!
St. Croix is where I first breathed underwater. We were staying at the Divi resort and I took the Introduction program with Cane Bay Dive Shop. That was in the spring of 2016...I was hooked...by October, I was Rescue Diver certified. St. Croix is beautiful. It is relaxing and not crowded like some other islands. Very laid back. I want to go again!

St. Croix is kind of a hidden gem in terms of diving and the laid back nature of the island! Thanks for sharing gssnyder88!👌
Rum, Diving. Diving, Rum. Yes, please!
Great video! Made me "Homesick". We have a place down there on the East end which, due to covid and other life considerations, we haven't been able to visit for a year now. Can't wait to get back. Not to detract from other dive operators, but the crews at SCUBA and Sweet Bottom are two of my favorites.
Great overview of diving in the USVI and St. Croix in particular! Looking forward to diving with you guys again soon.

Andrew, glad you enjoy Sweet Bottom Dive Center. They are great pastille and the diving on St. Croix is awesome! Thanks for watching!
epic.
Great video with great information on USVI. Being British I have to ask, is it easy to pop over to BVi from USVI for the day as desperate to dive the RMS Rhone? Really want to come down and spend time in USVi after watching your videos and Tritons.

You can definitely island hop via ferry or super short plane ride. Would need to check in with US Immigration and Customs upon arrival in the USVI with you British passport. Also I believe you would currently need proof of a negative Covid test to enter USVI.

I was a PADI dive instructor at Cane Bay, spent a year there teaching scuba and diving for lobster daily in 1994. No need for a wet suit there. Next stop was dive instructor on Blackbeard live aboard dive boat in Bahamas out of Miami. Then to New Orleans for Two years.
