Frederiksted Pier

4.4(15 reviews)USVI, St. Croix, Caribbean

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.

Vertigo

No reviews yetVirgin Islands, Saint Croix Island

Vertigo is a very advanced site. To truly appreciate it, you need to dive down the side of the drop off. Properly done, you swim from the mooring (which is in about 40 feet of water) on a compass heading of about 30-40 degrees, watching the sand flats below you. Follow the right side of the sand flat staying shallow (15-20 feet) until the edge of the sand flat is disappearing from view. Start your descent and angle 30-40 feet to the right of the sand flat, over the coral. There is an area of the coral that comes to a point, somewhat like a ski jump. This ski jump is at approximately 80 feet. After you leave the edge of the wall, it is a sheer drop off, and part of the wall actually cuts back under itself. The wall doesn't start coming back out until about 260 feet down. Follow the wall East, and up the side where it slopes a little more gently, and work your way back up. liveaboard, boat, advanced shore (requires 4 wheel drive)
