Gulf Diving

The area's warm waters are nutrient rich and loaded with marine life. The Gulf's bottom is mostly sandy, so anyplace there is structure and habitat we find high concentrations of diverse aquatic creatures second to none. Structure comes in the form of natural patch reefs and ledges, extensive artificial reef systems, and numerous shrimp boat and barge wrecks. Parrotfish

     Our dive sites boast a variety of tropical fish including Queen and French Angelfish, Blue Tangs, ParrotFish, and Spotfin Butterflies to name a few. The area also offers the highest concentrations of enormous Jewfish (giant Grouper reaching seven feet and 700 pounds)!

     Massive schools of shimmering silver bait fish attract Snook, Snapper, Grouper, Sheepshead, Jacks, Mackeral, Cobia, Barracuda, Permit, plus others. Include sand dollars, starfish, nudibranchs, and a plethora of colorful shells and you have an equation equaling an aquatic visual orgasm! Did I mention the Nurse Sharks (docile), Spotted Eagle Rays, and endangered Loggerhead Sea Turtle's often encountered?

     Several two-tank trips are scheduled weekly (conditions permitting). Trips are split into three categories based on how far out the sites are:
