Whether you are taking a trip to the beautiful island of St Croix for some casual sightseeing, or if you are the type of person who is looking for the ultimate relaxation holiday, scuba diving should be a ‘must do’ activity whilst on the island.

Scuba diving is extremely popular in all holiday resorts around the world, especially true for islands and mainland resorts which have the privilege of having the Caribbean sea at it’s shore lines.

The stunning island of St Croix can offer some of the best Scuba diving sites that you will be able to visit around the world, a small island, with a huge amount of possibilities!

With some holiday destinations you are likely to only have the chance to dive at one or two sites, due to the lack of coral around the shores, this is not the case for this island!

You will be spoilt for choice if you choose to have a day out diving, this is due to fact that the island boasts no less than 50 sites in which you can dive, yes you heard that right, 50 diving sites available to you!

The sea around the shores will entice you into the depths, and once you have experienced this, you will never forget some of the most amazing sights you are likely to see in your lifetime.

One specific sight that is a choice for most is known as ‘The Wall’. This drop off runs almost the entire length of the north shore of the island and plunges to depths of around 3,200, plenty of room to explore and see some of the mind boggling sea creatures and plant life from around the world.

To some this may seem extremely daunting, but rest assured that there are other sites that can be just as jaw dropping without the need for such extreme depths.

Why not take a trip to the historic town of Frederiksted and experience the thrill of diving down and weaving your way through the 6 sunken ships that have met their fate in these shores several years ago.

Here you can see for yourself what kind of sea life can thrive on the ships now resting on the sea floor!

As well as the 6 ships available to view, there is also a pier which is now considered one the best night dives that you can experience whilst on the island. So not only can you experience diving with sunlight beaming through the crystal clear waters, you can also have the stunning experience of diving whilst the sun is casting is final light of the day upon the rippling surface of the Caribbean sea.

If you are someone who has always been interested in taking a trip into the sea but have not got around to doing it before, and therefore need some lessons, do not worry as you are in the right place to learn from some of the best.

Most of the dive shops offer introductory courses so you can only take to the depths once you know exactly what you are doing, and will not be putting yourself, or anyone else in danger.

If you are keen enthusiast and already have your own equipment then that is great, however diving shops do lend out all types of equipment to enable you to have the best in diving experiences.

Of course there is some cost to having the privilege of seeing some of the most spectacular sights that ocean has to offer, but these are always kept to a minimum on the island and you will always get great value for money, its a promise!

This is a chance that has to be taken when visiting the island, and once you have experienced the thrill, you will be wondering how you will fit in all the diving sites in the remaining days of your holiday. It really is mind blowing!
