Most visitors access it by permitted tour boat or private boat rather than by shore.

Cane Bay Wall is a north-shore St. Croix shore/boat wall dive where a shallow reef shelf gives way to the Puerto Rico Trench. The normal dive begins near a buoy offshore from Cane Bay Beach, then follows sand chutes and coral gardens out to the wall.
