Diving St. Croix | Shipwrecks, Lionfish & a Persistent Reef Shark!
Embark on a thrilling solo shore dive adventure on Frederiksted, St. Croix’s west coast near Sprat Hall! Join me as I dive into the depths of Butler Bay in St. Croix, where I stumble upon the Shallow Wrecks dive site-an unplanned but thrilling discovery! 🐠🌊 From a stingray encounter on the reef shelf to uncovering shipwrecks and remnants of an underwater laboratory, this solo spearfishing scuba diving adventure is packed with surprises.
Follow me as I explore, catch some food and encounter some of the ocean’s curious residents. A shark decided to tag along for a bit, too close for comfort, even after a few gentle nudges with my speargun! Dive into this epic experience with me and witness t...

Lionfish hunting on Loops Beach St. Croix
if ya want to come to jamaica i will put you up, would be great adventure.
That would be cool! The last trip our spearguns got seized! But we were able to keep the pole spears and got some lionfish.
@SaltyLocs oh no! They confiscated? Crazy! I ordered from JBL and got them in the mail by BNB courier, there are spearguns everywhere here. That is a misfortune!
We got it back when we were leaving thankfully. Apparently, you have to make a request to bring it in (not sure how long it takes). So next time, probably will just have to use something there.
Maybe the shark 🦈 like jewelry?
Very possible 🤣
Barracuda looks so sweet
There were so many!
Great job! One 💕
Thank you! 😊
Thanks!
Thank you so much! 😊
Thanks!
Thanks! So needed this 🥰
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
@@SaltyLocs ❤
Awesome video Salty!! "I'm running low on air...but I'll just grab a couple more lion fish on the way!!"😂😂😂 You are good, cause there woulda also been a shark on the menu too!! He would have messed around and found out!! 😂😂😂 Glad to see the new video and you back in the water!! Keep up the amazing work!!
😂🤣😂🤣 I have really good air consumption. My “low on air” usually just means it’s time to turn the dive around and start thinking about heading back so I don’t have to kick from above water. Lots of cool stuff seems to happen during those times! 🧜🏽♀️
Nice to seeing you again missed your videos
Sorry for the huge gap, life’s been busy!
I finished it and I just have to say YOU HAVE OUT-DONE YOURSELF! The music on your descend and ascend always get me because I get so calm yet excited to “go under” with you and then get a little sad that it’s over but that feeling of “Rocky at the top of the stairs” vibe when you are safely on dry land with your haul. (Poor mackerel sacrificed a bit of external beauty, but heck someone had to take one for the team…that last poke at Mr. Shark sent him packing, tho’! Hee hee!) Amazing narration and your video editing skillz are 🔥!
Thank you 😊 glad you enjoyed it!!
I LOST MY MIND when I saw the shipwreck! Whaaaaaat!? How does one jump for joy underwater when there’s no one to see you rejoice but the fish? I haven’t even finished watching! I stopped just to comment…and that healthy growth! THAT GORGEOUS SPONGE! OMG! You were right! What a treat. Ok going back to watch! Stunning find! What a surprise!👊🏾
lol me too! Did you hear my underwater scream?!! Gotta love it!
Love it !
Happy diving!
Enjoyed the video!
Glad to hear it!
Always enjoy your adventures, feels like I'm right there with the colors of the sea.That shark was intent on analyzing your every move. I suspect going solo can put one on a higher alert status. All the best Miss Salty. 👍
Thank you, that’s the feel we’re going for! Most definitely on my P’s and Q’s at all times, hope I didn’t make y’all sea sick with the extra head movements. 🤣😂🤣 That was one pesky shark, didn’t get rid of him until that last poke!
Fire soundtrack: Check On point narration: Check: Great knowledge of area and history explanation: Check Another awesome Salty Locs video. Thanks for doing what you do and keeping me stoked for our STT trip next week.
Thank you thank you! 😊 I’m exciting for you, adventure ahead!! 🧜🏽♀️
I love eating an unbothered fish - goes down better 😂
😂🤣😂🤣 good one! Gotta keep the cycle going!
That's why they taste so good!!!😂😂😂
Probably! 🤣😂
Hilarious 😂😂😂!!
Bar Jack just tagging along trying to get an easy meal.
@@SaltyLocs like me waiting for my kids to not eat all their food at an expensive restaurant!!😂😂😂
Look no! 👆🏿💯
😂😂😂 do it! Don't wait for retirement!
Oh it’s happening!!!! 🧜🏽♀️
That's passion 😂😂😂😂
That’s me! lol I just need money to dive. Everything else takes care of itself!
Awesome! Does this dive shop offer lionfish hunts? I will be in Jamaica (Ocho Rios) in January and would love to do some spearing.
I don't know that they are equipped with tools for lionfish hunting but they did allow us to hunt with our equipment. You can travel with a pole spear. Garfield Diving Station garfielddiving@hotmail.com 1-876-395-7023
Will.there be another in 2025
I'm not sure. There was one this year back in August but I found out about it maybe 4 days prior to the event. It wasn't well advertised. I'll try to keep an eye out next year.
I've learned so much about them from YOU!!😂😂😂😂
And still plenty more to learn!
but they do make excellent party picks when you bake them to denature the venom proteins...
They sure do!
I dont believe in that 8 hours
When it dies it stops producing venom, then it takes about 8 hours for the remaining venom to no longer be a threat.
Congratulations Salty Locs and a August Wedding.... I'm So Happy For You...May God Always Bless and Keep Ya'll 💖💖💖💖
Thank you! 🙏🏽 😊
Beautiful 💖💖💖💖
Nice 💖💖💖💖
Imagine warding off some hungry shark with a lionfish tipped spear
Imagination not necessary, this has definitely happened! 😂🤣
That invasive species
Yes, it is!
Beautiful Dreams!!
Indeed!
New Subscriber here! Nice video.
Welcome and thank you!! 😊
Hello I’m am Jay steele son 😊
Hey what’s up?! Are you a diver too?
@@SaltyLocs no I just turned twelve
@@SaltyLocs I’ve only visited in the Virgin Islands about two or three times I wanna go down there and dive for my first time though
Awesome, let’s make it happen! You can get certified from age 10! 🧜🏽♀️
@@SaltyLocs I didn’t know that
I had no ideai what it looked like and i didnt know you had to get your hand this close to that monster fish
Yep, with the little pole spear you have to get pretty close. Even though you can use other things, it’s easier to manage not damaging the surrounding environment. They are pretty docile though, just stay away from the spines!
Got to be worth a couple of dollars each if a restaurant buys them. One of the best tasting fish there are. Can make a great living out of these. Probably worth farming them.
They are super good. It’s a win-win! We will eventually start offering to restaurants but for now I’m packing the freezer and feeding the family. 🧜🏽♀️
This could honestly be a relaxing video game.
Agreed, it sure feels like a game underwater too!
So refreshing!!!
And that’s a fact! 🫰🏽
