Trip Report St. Croix trip report July 2021

[Symbiosis Diving Travel]

Are there decent private schools there?

Greetings BoltSnap,

I don't have children but some friends on island have their children in Montassori (elementary) and Good Hope Country Day. Both Private schools and from what I'm told, very good!

I appreciate the thorough report, very helpful. I second SaltyFrog's query: which Caribbean islands did you prefer over St. Croix? We've done Belize, Roatan, the ABC islands, and St Lucia, and definitely found the western Caribbean sites the best.

You mentioned there are other islands that you recommend over St Croix. What are they?

Our favorites are the Caymans and Cozumel. Both are equally stunning underwater, in our opinion, but very different. And from a topside perspective, we love both but the experiences are different in many respects. Our other favorite is Turks & Caicos. Perhaps the best reefs and life we've seen in the Caribbean is the wall off Providenciales. And Provo is an amazing island with stunning beaches, good restaurants and great people. The downside is that the wall is about an hour boat ride from the main marinas. So when we go back to Turks & Caicos, we'll do a liveaboard.

We just got back from St. Croix.

The Pier is a world class dive no doubt about it. Amazing day and night.
the rest of the Diving is just ok. but the Pier makes the whole trip worth it.
here is our 5 min Highlight reel

Nep2une dive shop is fantastic. I just wish there were more great sites for them to take us to via boat. They are a pleasure to dive with. great guides and great service.

The food choices are limited but good.
the roads are crap but island is so small its not a big deal.

Thanks for checking in. Agree about the pier!! Nice video! Always enjoyed diving with the group from Nep2une. If you get back to St X, diving the north side - Salt River - will give you some different type of diving.

the roads are crap but island is so small its not a big deal.

Unless you get lost in the "rainforest."
