The air temperature is in the mid-80s and the ocean is reaching 82F. The wrecks are a favorite area for divers as they can spot a lot of turtles at this time of year. On our list we recommend a visit to Etheridge Wreck, a barge used in the filming of Halloween and now home to a goliath grouper. The cabin area is still intact allowing an easy and short dive, as well as interesting photography.

We also always like to visit La Rose, a three deck wreck, and its neighbor Comex Wreck. Both of these sites always present an interesting show of marine life, as they both lay on the edge of the deep reef, towards the continental shelf.

As always we encourage guests interested in the sport, to continue their scuba education while on vacation. Wreck diver, photography, deep diver and naturalist are some of the most popular courses for our experienced divers.
