The normally placid waters in Frederiksted harbor have been unusually turbulent causing the water to be cooler and reducing underwater visibility. Therefore, I was a little concerned that our Buck Island snorkeling trip would be less than optimal. Buck Island is a National Monument under the jurisdiction of the National Park service. The island encompasses approximately 176 acres, but the monument encompasses greater than 19,000 acres. Therefore, approximately 99% of the monument is submerged.
