Green beer? No, green water.
In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, here are some pics of emerald green water for you to enjoy. Thanks to our friend Steve from Alternate Latitude for pointing us towards Buck Island. The snorkeling there with the turtles was excellent!
FYI, Steve offers charters in the Virgin Islands and he has a beautiful yacht. Rebecca and I had a tour of it yesterday. If you book with him and use ZTC as your discount code, you’ll actually receive $500.00 off the charter fee. $500.00 would buy a lot of green beer!
You just gave a way a great secret spot…lol….Beautiful pictures…Sooooo Clear
It is far from a secret. Just a few miles from Charlotte Amalie, day charter cats bring loads of people there every day. There are a dozen balls there for day use. In spite of that, it is well worth the trip.
Those are some of the best pictures you’ve ever posted. Fabulous!!!
I wrote a post for tomorrow on how to beginners can edit underwater shots to make them look better.
Love that spot!!!
Eager to hear the piece on editing pics… What software you use etc etc…

For some reason , after following your blog for quite a while, I thought you and Rebecca might enjoy St.Croix……the Caribbean’s ‘Best kept Secret’. Don’t tell too many about it…..Sure would not want to spoil it for those of us that live here!……Jay…..
I’m sure we would. It is a bit of an effort to get there though. I doubt we’ll get there this trip either.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Thank you! Although a day late in saying so, same to you.
Where is this aquarium that you have found?

Four miles of Charlotte Amalie.
Following your blog from the beginning- it looks as if your snorkeling skills/comfort level underwater have improved greatly! Very nice St. Paddy Day pics.
It definitely has.
Those are great underwater pictures!.
The colors are fantastic.

Very Cool!
Glad you think so.
Wife and I got our PADI dive certifications while we were on St. Croix a few years ago. They have some nice water there for diving/snorkeling.
Does the Cruzan Rum distillery still have the free tour..and more importantly…free tasting?
I couldn’t say. Perhaps Jay Gee or one of the other readers who live in St. Croix might know.
The wife and I were there this past Wednesday on a cruise ship excursion, fantastic. The visibility is unlimited to the bottom; a great spot.
Which cruise ship were you on?
We were on the Carnival Dream, it was actually Tuesday when we were in St. Thomas. We were in St. Maarten on Wednesday, then were stranded there a bit, ha. Had to sit on the beach and and drink $2 Heineken’s for an extra day, it was horrible.
We all must suffer a bit. 🙂
Great pix Mike!
Thanks, Mike.
