Diving in the u.s. virgin islands?

Question

Hi! My family is planning on going to the u.s. virgin islands in june to go scuba diving (we are all certified). I'm wondering where you would say is the best place to stay. We want to stay in a big resort type place and we definitely want a reputable dive center on site at the resort. I'm not even sure which of the islands is the best. We want beginner, carefree diving. What do you suggest? Thank you so much!

Answer 1

St. Croix is the best of the 3 USVI's for diving due to the depth and size of it's reefs, plus it's underwater trails and wrecks.  Buck Island is famous for it's diving.  Two dive sites for beginners are Cane Bay and North Star.

St. John  and St. Thomas are geared more to snorkeling.

The Carambola Beach Resort and the Carina Bay Beach Resort have the 5 star PADI Cane Bay Dive Shop on site, which offers  lessons, boat and beach dives and excursions.  CBDS has several locations on the island.

See the links below, and have a great trip!
