I asked a guy that is from the USVI about spearfishing around St John. He told me it was legal in about 20% of the surrounding waters. The other 80% is a reserve.

Thanks alot for your help. I researched all the size regulations and I am staying at a campground that is out of the national park so I should be in good shape.
***If anyone is going to be in the virgin islands for the month of march i could use a dive buddy.
thanks again
