Dive or Snorkel Virgin Islands National Park, USVI

Add to My List Check Off

Virgin Islands National Park is famous for scuba diving and snorkeling. A few areas lend themselves to beach dives and numerous areas offer good shore-side snorkeling. But the best scuba-diving sites both inside and outside the park are accessed by boat. Numerous commercial operators in St. John offer scuba and snorkel trips in and around the park. Complete facilities offer everything from lessons to equipment rental. These operators usually run two trips a day on dive boats ranging from 25 feet on up. When you take the ferry from St. Thomas to Cruz Bay on St. John, be sure to visit the National Park visitor center. You will find all the books, maps, and information you need to get the most out of your visit. Several of the rangers are divers and can offer good local information on diving in the park. Many of the local dive operators have brochures available here. If you are diving on your own, plan your dive site by weather conditions. This will save you a long drive or boat ride to the wrong place.
