As the sun sets, octopuses, sea horses and moray eels make their appearance. Hawksbill, green, and leatherback turtles, call the USVI home and can be seen on many a dive. Lucky vacationers may even witness turtles hatching at one of the many turtle-nesting grounds. The islands of the USVI are surrounded by some of the Caribbean's healthiest reefs, and there are more than a dozen shipwrecks.
