St. Croix

To visit St. Croix there is good news for US citizens- no passport required! In 1917 the United States purchased islands from the Danish government for military reasons. Before the US bought the islands they were well known for their agricultural based economy which lasted until the 1950s, when tourism became the leading industry. St. Croix is the largest of the three US Virgin islands, and the one with the best diving. The landscape is very diverse and can range from mountains, to rainforest to fertile coastal plains. Some of the activities that you may enjoy while visiting are rum making, shopping, exploring 18th-century forts or diving in the crystal clear waters. The Wall is the most famous dive site, you can either access it by boat or shore diving located just off of Cane Bay Beach. Once underwater you may encounter sea turtles, blue tang, spiny Caribbean lobster, seahorses, pufferfish and reef sharks, among many other species of fish and coral. Nowhere else in the Caribbean can you dive a wreck, wall, pier and reef all in one day making St. Croix the perfect vacation spot!
