St. John Scuba Diving Highlights

By Travel Expert: Linda Samuel
  • See forever (or at least 100 feet) during summer and fall, the best seasons to dive.
  • Tie the knot underwater at Eagle Shoals, a dive site off the island's eastern shore that hosts cave weddings.
  • Learn the basics from a dive outfitter for about US$60.

St. John Overview

A few miles east of St. Thomas, across a glistening turquoise channel known as Pillsbury Sound, lies St. John, the smallest and least densely populated of the three main U.S. Virgin Islands.
