St. Thomas Snorkeling & Diving:
The Island offers exceptional St. Thomas snorkeling directly off its spectacular white sand beaches. Some of the best underwater adventures in the Virgin Islands await while St. Thomas snorkeling, many villa guests will find great opportunities to explore at Sapphire Beach and Secret Harbor, two great St. Thomas snorkeling sites.
Many St. Thomas snorkeling and diving sites feature wrecks. One of the most famous is the Cartanser Sr; a 35-foot deep, beautifully encrusted cargo ship that allows guests interested in St. Thomas snorkeling to experience a safe shallow water sunken adventure. The General Rogers, a 65-foot deep Coast Guard cutter with gigantic resident barracuda offers another opportunity, though not really for St. Thomas snorkeling as it’s depth is beyond that of even the most experienced snorkelers breath.
Reef dives offer hidden caves and archways at Cow & Calf Rocks, coral-covered pinnacles at Frenchcap and tunnels where you can explore from the Caribbean to the Atlantic at Thatch Cay, Grass Cay and Congo Bay.
St. Thomas-Deep-Sea Fishing:
Vast arrays of big game fish live in the oceans surrounding the U.S. Virgin Islands. Indeed, fishing from St. Thomas is synonymous with blue marlin angling-especially from June through October. Four 1,000 pound blue marlins, including three world records have been caught on the famous North Drop, which is located approximately 20 miles north of St. Thomas.
Several different companies on the island offer guided St. Thomas fishing excursions with a focus on the big game fish like marlin, sailfish, dolphinfish/mahimahi and wahoo. Both half day and full day excursions are available.
