Meet the Sharks of the USVI
Supreme Pack Hunters
Caribbean Reef Sharks
Caribbean Reef Sharks are a symbol of the Caribbean. These large reef-based sharks are the sharks we see the most in the Virgin Islands (St Thomas and St John). Reefies are expert hunters who are very alert and smart sharks often working in packs to hunt.
Inshore Bruisers
Lemon Sharks
Lemon Sharks are large coastal sharks found in the Virgin Islands. When young they stay in shallow flats and mangroves, as they grow they eventually spend their time hunting shallow and deep reefs around the islands. Lemon Sharks are smart and active sharks that are commonly seen on our dives. They are bold and often compete with the faster Reef Sharks for prey.
Legendary Hammers
Great Hammerheads
Great Hammers are one of the most epic sharks found in the Virgin Islands. These are large sharks that reach up to 20′ in length. Great Hammerheads specialize in hunting stingrays, large fish, and other smaller sharks. These sharks frequent our reef locations and it’s always an incredible day when we see these amazing and iconic animals.
Expert Hunters
Blacktip Sharks
Blacktip Sharks are one of the best predators found in the waters of the Virgin Islands. These sharks are extremely fast and agile making it difficult for prey to escape. We compare them to an inshore version of the Mako Shark, fast, focused and all business! The clear Caribbean waters of around St Thomas and St John are a great place to witness this shark.
Reef Keepers
Nurse Sharks
Nurse Sharks are often overlooked by other shark species but they are a very cool and capable shark. Making their homes in the reefs of the Virgin Islands they are experts at living among the coral. These sharks generally move slow and often offer great viewing experiences.
Caribbean King
Tiger Sharks
Tiger Sharks are a legendary shark, the second largest predatory Shark in the ocean and the King of the Tropics. Tigers can reach a size of over 20′ and 3000lbs. These rulers of the deep frequent many different ocean habitats including both shallow reefs and offshore waters. Here in the Virgin Islands they cruise and hunt over remote reef areas and steep dropoffs. Tigers are a serious Shark that needs to be respected but with the right guidance it is very possible to dive with these magnificent animals.
