Moored reef-and-wall dive off St. Croix.
Local boat support is the normal way to reach the mooring and run the dive.
Green Cay Slope is a boat-access reef-and-wall dive off St. Croix with a moored entry, a coral-rich slope, and easy route-finding around the structure. It is a relaxed choice for divers who want a calm cruise along the reef rather than a hard current dive, and the mooring makes it straightforward to repeat when conditions are good.
