Our history

It all started with…

Owner, Hal Rosbach, in 1990. Prior to opening the shop, Hal spent a great deal of time rebuilding on St. Croix following the damage caused by hurriance Hugo. In his time off, he developed a love for diving. Hal was continuously drawn to the diversity and beauty of the Cane Bay Wall area. 

In those days, most dive operators were located in Christiansted, and to dive the Wall involved a long and expensive boat ride. Tired of the restrictions imposed by diving out of an operation so far away, Hal opted for diving his favorite location from the beach.

Once Hal realized the diversity of dives available and accessibility of the Wall from shore, the seed was planted for the creation of the Cane Bay Dive Shop. Hal wanted to set up a dive shop that would take the meaning of being "diver friendly" to the next level, with optimum flexibility for the schedule of each and every customer.
