USVI-On-Line

Thanks for all the input, looks like Leinster / Waterlemon is a must see, I hope I can make it out that far and not deal with the currents!

I like the point between Devers Bay and Chocolate Hole. The water is deep, but there are walls and house-size boulders. Good stuff.

My favorite for a wide range of skill levels is Vie's beach. Around the Western point there is a great area around some exposed rocks. Around the Eastern point is a shallow area that is great for beginners. Plus, no current!

But, I do love Leinster Bay/Waterlemon Cay. It's just not for everyone.

Any where form a couple of feet along the east shore line to 60 ft + off the points but with boulders like Rick said and neat cuts, Lots of turtles and rays out in the grass probaly 20 to 30 ft deep. both shore about half way out to around both points never snorkled the back half.

That's great information. I never would have thought to snorkel there. Since we are staying at La Miramar, it will be very close to our house.

And lots of cool stuff thrown off the anchored boats.

Rick have you ever seen the old wooden anchor that looks like it came off of a pirate ship. It's kind of sad they forced the live a boards out of coarl bay and now more have taking up spots in Chocolate hole

No wooden anchor, but plenty of other various odd items. But, that's just on the way to the good stuff.
