St. Croix is a fantastic divers destination. There is so much sea life to enjoy around the island. We purchased a tropical fish identification guide for our kids, and between diving and snorkeling we have seen almost every fish in the book! During the first week of our vacation, Dave was unable to dive due to an ear infection that resulted in a trip to the local Urgicare. He was given the green light by the Doctor and has enjoyed dives in Frederiksted and Davis Bay.
A few highlights of his recent dives include sea turtles, sharks, squid, sea horses, and tons of amazing brightly colored fish. I love to watch and share the videos with the kids. They enjoy picking out fish in the videos and then identifying them in our fish guide. My personal favorite video clip is when they enter “The Aquarium” dive site in Frederiksted surrounded by hundreds of fish. It truly looks like they are swimming in a huge aquarium of tropical fish.

That’s such a beautiful place to visit, especially for the kids!
The pictures and videos look awesome! One day I’ll muster up the courage to go diving.
You have such beautiful pictures. I’m really creeped out even thinking about going in water that has fish. I would never be able to enjoy that.
This looks amazing. We love snorkling but have not attempted diving yet. Maybe when the boys are a bit older! My one year old is obsessed with fish and is loving these videos! Thanks for posting and enjoy your trip!
Wow!! I hope one day I am able to take such an amazing trip! We are headed camping now does that count?! Haha
All vacations count!! It doesn’t matter where you are – as long as you enjoy it and take time to relax! Camping trips are amazing too! Have a great vacation.
This is amazing!! I love following your journeys and St. Croix sounds unbelievable. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve had St. Croix on my bucket list for years. Your post has just moved it to the top of my list.
We did several resort dives before my children were born, but haven’t been in a very long time. Enjoyed the videos, thanks for sharing 🙂
This is so awesome! I went snorkeling in Maui and it was amazing. Not so sure about the diving part, even though it looks so amazingly peaceful. But maybe I’ll add it to the bucket list.
The video is amazing! So much to see underwater. I particularly like the turtles.
Diving is one of my favorite activities, especially in warm waters. I had no idea there was so much sea life in that area. Now I have to wrangle a visit!
Amazing video.
Diving would scare me, but how beautiful and so much to see! It’s neat that your husband can share his passion with the kids through the videos and that they can learn while on vacation!
I have never been diving but my goodness those videos, the clear water, and all of the underwater life! It’s absolutely stunning and definitely on my bucket list!!
You know I am a huge fan of your blog. I love seeing your family’s adventures and all the gorgeous pictures. The sea turtles are gorgeous. I wish I knew how to swim!!! Thank you for sharing !!!
Thanks Kim! Snorkeling is one of our favorite family activities!
