Sugar Beach is a boat accessible salt water dive site, located in Christiansted, St. Croix, Virgin Islands (U.S.). The maximum depth is 81-90ft/25-27m. The average visibility is 71-80ft/22-24m.
This site is named for the beach that’s nearest it on shore. It’s not diveable from the beach however as it’s part of Long Reef (the 2nd longest barrier reef in the Caribbean) and the diving is on the "other" side of the reef, thus only reachable by boat. The mooring is in 35’ of water and the reef drops off gently from there. Lots of spur and groove formations of coral and plenty of fish life.
