I also live on ST Croix and agree that Buck Island is thriving. -
There's a sandy side (west) and a Coral side - where the underwater "path" is - which takes you around and through the coral.
I've been to the island 3 times in the last year - 2 of those included trips to the snorkeling goodness. Last time we were there we saw some small sharks, barracuda, lots of parrot fish, and several angel fish (that's off the top of my head of what I remember)
The cool thing about getting the boats out there (and I usually go with Big Beards, but have heard great things about capt Heinz) - is that you have to keep your eyes peeled on the ride too...we've seen dolphin and turtles just from the boat. The Birds are pretty cool too if you're interested in that... I don't know much, but people get very excited.
There is other great snorkeling on the island, but Buck is special.
Islander? Buck Island conflicting reports?
