Flag Pole Little St James

Flag Pole Little St James is a shallow reef site in the Virgin Islands area, typically approached from the nearby harbor towns. The site features a gently sloping seabed with a mix of coral heads and sandy patches, offering relatively easy entry and a relaxed ascent. Visibility is variable but commonly decent in calm conditions, with water temperatures typical of tropical Caribbean diving. Common reef associates in the region include small to mid-sized reef fish, damsels, parrotfish, tangs, and barracuda at times, with occasional pelagic sightings beyond the reef drops. The site is suitable for recreational divers seeking an easy underwater drift beneath the surface to observe the local reef life. Access is straightforward from nearby towns such as Cruz Bay and Charlotte Amalie, making it a convenient option for in-cruise or day-trip diving in the area.
