Because the site sits at a flat 27 metres with no shallower section to extend your dive, plan a conservative bottom time and confirm your gas turn pressure before descending. Night diving here rewards the extra logistical effort, so ask your dive shop about boat availability for after-dark trips.
Accessible via a long surface kick from shore or by boat from the Frederiksted Pier.
