Scuba Diving St. Croix's Most Diverse Site! (Frederiksted Pier Underwater Family Travel Vlog)

Scuba Diving the Frederiksted Pier is by almost all accounts the crown jewel of diving on St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. Located on the west end of the island, the 1,526-foot pier jets out into the warm Caribbean waters, creating a spectacular easy shore dive for new and experienced scuba divers alike. At an average depth of 25 feet, the pier allows for longer bottom times and offers something for everyone.

The pier is supported by numerous rows of concrete pilings that are covered in a wide variety of sponges, soft and stony corals, tiny crabs, brittle stars, the occasional seahorse, and so much more. The pier overhead creates a shadow underneath and allows the sunlight to dance around the edges. Barracuda are often spotted a few feet below the surface hiding in the shadows, while large schools of reef fish move as one in the midwater column. Batfish and scorpionfish can often be found walking along the sandy bottom.

Hawksbill and green sea turtles both call the Frederiksted Pier home, and are frequently spotted grabbing a breath of air at the surface and gliding down to the seafloor.
The Frederiksted Pier is one of our favorite dive sites. Join us as we gear up and jump into the warm water both during the day and at night. We'll be stopping at different spots to highlight the incredible diversity this dive site has to offer. Dive along with us as we spot turtles, octopus, stingray, and so much more.

Happy diving, we hope you enjoy the video, - Jeff, Sara, and Evan.
