North-shore St. Croix sponge-garden wall dive
North-shore St. Croix sponge-garden wall dive
Best dived with a local St. Croix boat operator.
Knobby Knoll is a north-shore St. Croix boat dive with a shallow sponge garden that rolls into a small wall. It is a good fit for certified divers who want a compact reef profile, easy guided logistics, and a short route with enough texture to keep the dive interesting without turning it into a long or technical outing. Plan it as a relaxed guided stop rather than a shore-access site.
