About Alien Nation
Alien Nation is a boat-access reef on St. Croix's west end. The site slopes into a broad sponge-covered reef face with enough relief to keep the dive interesting across a flexible profile. The sandy edge often brings eels, turtles, and stingrays into view, so a calm-day boat dive and steady buoyancy make the site feel its best.
