Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary is made up of 17 different reefs and banks located about 70-115 miles off the Texas-Louisiana coast. These protected areas are a true treasure of the Gulf of Mexico—a Caribbean oasis in an unexpected place. Each year, 2,500-3,000 divers visit the sanctuary to explore some of the healthiest coral in the world.

The three banks of the national marine sanctuary each have several moored dive sites, with typical dive profiles of 70-130 feet. East Flower Garden Bank, West Flower Garden Bank and Stetson Bank are actually small underwater mountains created by salt domes. The tops of these banks are covered in gardens of coral, sponges and algae that provide habitats for a variety of tropical wildlife. Visitors to Flower Garden Banks can explore coral heads the size of cars, schools of fish, graceful spotted eagle and manta rays, and may even have a chance to witness majestic whale sharks during summer visits to the area.

We will be on board the M-V Fling leaving out of Freeport Tx Friday night and returning Sunday night. Over two days we will be doing 7 dives on some of the best preserved and healthiest reefs in the world. This is true world class diving in our back yard (sort of).

Accomadations include food, lodging, diving, tanks, weights, and selections of on board beverages (adult).
