Cruz Bay

The town of Cruz Bay (affectionately dubbed "Love City" for its heart-shaped bay), on St. John’s west coast, offers good conditions for diving. Divers may explore shallow coral gardens and fringing coral reefs with an outstanding variety of hard and soft corals, sea fans and sponges and an abundance of other marine life, including schools of yellowtail snappers, jacks and hogfishes, as well as stingrays and tarpons in sandy areas. The most popular dive sites near Cruz Bay are the legendary Carvel Rock and Congo Cay.
