10 Things to do Adventurous in St. Thomas That You Shouldn't Miss
Like all of the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Thomas has plenty of opportunities to lounge on the beach, splash in the sea, or amp it up with watersports. It also boasts a bountiful duty-free shopping scene – just be prepared to brave the cruise ship crowds. Charlotte Amalie swells with Danish colonial architecture and pirate legend. Shiver ye timbers at Blackbeard’s Castle, then work up an appetite by climbing the historic 99 Steps, constructed from the ballast bricks of 18th century Danish ships.

At a depth of 40 feet, this shallow dive is a popular spot for novice snorkelers, which features twin rocks that pierce the surface connected by a labyrinth of swim-through tunnels, archways and caves.

We visited these two dive sites on 5/23/17. Visibility was excellent (60+ ft.) with little to no current and pretty calm seas (2-4ft waves at most). The sites are full of caverns and swim through holes in coral formations that are home to a wide variety of sea life. We encountered some of the largest lobster and hermit crabs I have ever seen along with a majestic lion fish, an eagle ray, and many, many more species. There are many nooks and crannies for some of the more shy creatures to hide in, so bring a good dive light along with an underwater camera for some nice pictures. This part of St. Thomas is protected, so you are not allowed to grab any of the large vacated conch shells you find, nor are you allowed to grab any of the lobsters you are bound to encounter. There are better sites if you are looking for turtles, but this is one of the better ones on St. Thomas.
