About this Dive Site
Description
Experience the legendary 'The Wall' in St. Croix, a world-renowned dive site featuring a dramatic coral-covered wall that plunges into the deep blue. While the abyss is vast, typical dives explore the upper sections, descending from around 9 meters to a maximum of 30 meters. Expect to be mesmerized by vivid coral formations and a rich diversity of marine life, including reef sharks and sea turtles.
