More Info:
Become one with the sea as the healing rhythm of the waves soothes your body, mind and soul at this luxurious retreat. Located 1/2 mile from the beautiful white sand beaches of Cane Bay, this Villa features 2 master bedroom suites with ocean views, 2 deluxe master baths, a games room and a den/3rd bedroom.There is something for everyone whether you wish to soak up the sun on the pool deck, renew your competitive spirit over a game of billiards or work up a good appetite boogie boarding "in the back yard" amongst the sometimes ample waves. When it comes time to eat, if you don't feel like cooking in the fully appointed kitchen there are 4 restaurants all within walking distance ready to give you a taste of the local island flavor. 2DIVE4 is centrally located amid some of the absolute best shore diving and snorkeling in the United States and Caribbean. Reefs and walls are located just 100 yards offshore and offer vast diversity in coral and fish life. St. Croix is the largest of the 3 major U.S. Virgin Islands. Three times larger than St. Thomas, its different terrains range from arid lowlands and sheer rugged cliffs to mountains and a rain forest. Year round air temperatures range from 76 degrees to 85 degrees. Since St. Croix is part of the United States, the U.S. dollar is the official currency. Electricity, credit cards and postal service are all standardized to the U.S. mainland. Getting to the U.S. Virgin Islands is easy via the several major airlines that service it, including American, U.S. Airways and Delta. Passports are not required to enter St. Croix, however, positive ID of some type is required to leave.

Or just relax under a sea grape tree and read a best seller! St. Croix is a hard-core diver's island, offering shore and beach diving, walls, reefs, pinnacles, wrecks and a spectacular pier dive. Whether you are a beginner, advanced, or even a tech diver, there is something for everyone. Overview Most of the diving takes place along St. Croix's substantial northern shore. The north coast wall begins sloping away about 100 yards from shore and drops to over 3,200 feet. (Tech divers can really explore here). However, one need not go very deep to enjoy the wall as shallow coral gardens of sea fans, brain and star corals give way to barrel and elephant ear sponges as well as plate and pillar corals. While diving the wall you will also enjoy a variety of formations including caves, pinnacles, swim-throughs, and a trench. Salt River canyon splits the north shore wall with an ancient river bed that reaches a depth of 1000 feet. The east and west walls of this canyon both offer very different diving experiences. Off the northwest corner of the island is Butler Bay. Here lies a small armada of 4 wrecks of varying size and depth all within 100 yards of each other. Wide angle photo opportunities abound among these sunken majesties cloaked in red encrusted corals, pink tube sponges and an abundance of soft coral. This is an excellent site to visit when calmer conditions are desired. One of the most spectacular night dives in St. Croix is under the Frederiksted pier. Located on the west side of the island, this commercial pier extends 450 yards from shore. It is a "must" dive for anyone shooting macro photography or if you just enjoy seeing the creatures of the night that inhabit this area. Some divers like the relative ease of guided boat diving. For you there are 2 full service scuba shops offering boat diving just a short drive from 2Dive4. However, if you are like me and you prefer shore diving then you have come to the right place. A few dives like Gentle Winds and both walls of Salt River Canyon are best done by boat. However, the majority of St. Croix sites are accessible from shore. In the most recent Top 100 poll taken in Rodale's Scuba Diving Magazine, readers rated the US Virgin Islands #9 for "best snorkeling" ! They also rated St. Croix "#4 Best Overall Destination". ! It was also rated "# 3 Best Beginner Diving" . If you are like me and prefer to dive on your own schedule, you will appreciate that St. Croix is "# 3 for the best shore diving" . To help you take full advantage of St. Croix's world renowned shore diving, in conjunction with a local instructor, I have pulled together written information about various local shore dives.. Each travelogue includes driving directions with trip-o-meter settings from 2Dive4, a description of the dive and a map of the dive where useful. Written shore diving information is available about the sites in blue on the following map.

About Kingston Jamaica - Jamaica
Few Caribbean islands can offer up the diversity of our island country - where there's so much more than "rum, sun & raggae" - especially in the often overlooked capital city of Kingston, the heartbeat of Jamaica and the second largest English-speaking city south of Miami, Florida. Kingston overlooks what is the seventh largest natural harbour in the world. Like a fan, the city spreads north from the harbour as far as the foothills of the famous Blue Mountains - impressive peaks that form a glorious backdrop to the whole.

Caribbean Travel Tip
Bring light ponchos for rain gear.
Bring light ponchos for rain gear. These can be purchased from most camping stores. Many stadiums also carry a light poncho to sell to fans of local football teams. These work great as well. They are small and light and easy to carry anywhere you go as a rain cloud can come in no time and dump a monsoon on your head.
