Why dive here
With 476+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and humpback whales - Cabrita Pinnacle offers some of St. Thomas & St. John's richest pinnacle diving. Water sits around 27°C.
Cabrita Pinnacle is a good introductory dive, especially if you’re getting your feet wet in St. Thomas. Dropping down to about 15 meters, it’s a manageable depth for those just certified or looking for a relaxed time. You'll navigate around the pinnacle, spotting plenty of the usual Caribbean suspects-parrotfish grazing, angelfish darting around, and often a few inquisitive trumpetfish. It's an easy drift with mild current usually, letting you take your time. We've always found it a solid choice for a second dive of the day, gentle and pretty without being overly demanding.
