Absolutely the easiest way to see the wonders of our reefs is by Drift Diving. Unlike fixed (or anchor) diving, you don't have to find your way back to the boat, the boat is always with you. In Drift Diving, we put you and your buddy team in the water with a dive float and flag. Once in the water, the boat follows your flag as you drift along with the current, keeping other boat traffic away from your dive area.
Our divemasters watch for you to surface, and at the end of the dive, our boat comes and picks you up. It's like coming up and flagging down your own personal water taxi. Conventional anchor diving, techniques require you to swim INTO the current (hard work sometimes!) for the first 1/3 of your air supply, then swim (drift) back to the boat on the second 1/3 of air (leaving the remaining air for emergencies, such as missing the boat and getting carried down current, away from the anchored boat.) Imagine, lazily drifting over the reef, taking pictures, searching for tropical fish, sea turtles or any one of the
numerous critters that call our reefs home, allowing you to take back wonderful memories. Drift diving lets you enjoy more bottom time while using less effort. If you have ever swam into a heavy current, you know that it's no fun. "Fun", isn't that what diving is supposed to be all about?
You'll be blown away by the three reef systems that parallel our shoreline. Variety is a single word that can describe our reefs. No site is the same. You can find reefs in as shallow as 15 feet to the outside of the third reef sloping down to well over 70'. In addition to the structure of the reef being diverse, you'll also discover a multitude of inhabitants. 1000's of species of tropical fish share their home with Morey Eels, Nurse Sharks, Octopus, Rays, sport fish and a variety of hard and soft corals. Come see the colors and the critters of our tropical reefs.
