St. Croix is the largest - and perhaps most mysterious - of the three U.S. Virgin Islands. And after a dive vacation there, you'll be asking yourself why this lush, tropical island is cloaked in relative obscurity. It's an American-Caribbean paradise that offers the best of both worlds - easy access, American convenience and modern infrastructure, all wrapped in a typically Caribbean package with warm water, tropical beaches, get-away-from-it-all ambiance and colonial charm. Seven flags have flown over St. Croix during its rich history, but best of all, you don't need a passport to go there.

Cane Bay Dive Shop

Cane Bay Dive Shop is St. Croix's top scuba diving and watersports outfitter. With five locations around island, the PADI 5-Star IDC facility is never more than 10 to 15 minutes away. Their flagship shop is located on the laid-back North Shore, home to their signature house reef. Their other locations include Cane Bay West in Frederiksted, Cane Bay East in Christiansted, Cane Bay at Carambola Beach Resort and Spa, and their newest spot at the Divi Carina Bay Beach Resort.

Carambola Resort

If you're looking for a secluded, pristine beach, warm turquoise waters, lush tropical landscape and spectacular sunsets, Carambola Beach Resort and Spa is the perfect choice. The resort's design is inspired by the cultural heritage and history of St. Croix and the US Virgin islands, with red roofs reflecting the island's Danish heritage, in-room screened porches, Spanish colonial mahogany woodwork, creole symetry and central entrance, and French louvered windows.

Located on the quieter side of St. Croix, the Divi Carina Bay Beach Resort combines privacy and relaxation with modern style and amenities. Spacious beachfront guestrooms and deluxe hillside suites offer private balconies with stunning views. It's all just steps away from an exciting casino, miniature golf course, and an on-site PADI five-star dive operation and activities center.
