Frederiksted

U.S. Virgin Islands

The old Frederiksted Pier was destroyed years ago in a storm, and was recently rebuilt to modern standards to accommodate cruise ships and other large vessels.  Within the next 5 years, there should be enough marine life accumulation to warrant a trip out to its end.  Luckily, however, a few pilings from the old pier still exist with incredible communities of soft coral still just a few meters off shore.  This is a very easy dive, and an especially nice night dive!

All West-bound roads lead to Frederiksted.  Once in the small town, look seaward, find the pier, point your car in that direction, and you can't miss it!  The pier  is right next to the old Fort Frederik, built in 1752.  Your non-diving members will have plenty to explore while you are living it up underwater.
