St. Croix Ultimate Bluewater Adventures

St. Croix Ultimate Bluewater Adventures, which also goes by SCUBA, is a dive operator with two shops on St. Croix. Its original shop has been open in Christiansted since 1998, and a second shop sits on Strand Street in Frederiksted, across the street from the Frederiksted Pier. The company runs morning and afternoon boat dives on the north and west shores, at sites that include walls, reefs, wrecks and the pier, and it also offers night dives. People who are not certified can start with Discover Scuba Diving, and PADI courses run from Open Water through Divemaster, with specialties such as Wreck Diver and Underwater Navigator. Trips and courses can be booked online, by phone or by email, and both shops open every day. New residents can ask about course schedules, gear rental and which shop is closer to home.
