March 2003 Great Dive

June 2005 The East Bank was alive with tropicals. The most I've ever seen there. Also found branching corals, a first for me on this bank. We missed Stetson Bank on this trip due to a diver incident onboard. The other boat reported Hammerheads, Eels, and Turtles on Stetson the next day.

August 2004 The coral spawn dive usually occurs in August and is very popular. People come from all over the world for this trip, so the boats fill up early. Book as soon as you can. Gulf Diving generally has their summer trip calendar posted on their website very early in the year.

March 2001 March is the time to go to see Hammerheads schooling. They migrate past there in the hundreds to thousands. BUT the currents can get bad FAST then as well on the second day out the first dive was great the second dive most people did not go in and the ones who did had a hard time getting back on board. This is not the dive for beginners.
