Flower Gardens - August 21 ~ 23 [11 Dives ~ $450]

[PacketSniffer]

There are spots available for a weekday live aboard trip to the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. This is the week after the coral spawn. Possbilities of seeing whale sharks are high. The trip will include Flower Garden's East and West Bank, Stetson Bank, and deep water water platforms. Visibility averages 100'.

This is a privately chartered trip through Zendiving. The owner of Zendiving.com (Robert Bailey) is a Dive Master that regularly crews on the 100' MV Fling vessel which operates in the Flower Garden Banks. He knows the Flower Gardens very well (~1000 dives). This will not be the standard trip.

Come and meet some of the Scubaboard and Zendiving popular personalities and dive junkies. :11:

Here's a sample of Robert's handiwork in the Flower Garden Banks.

Is it too late to be able to go? Does this charter need to be filled before setting to sail in August? How many spots left? Thanks!

This is just a curiousoty question, but when I did FG, it was 4 dives on Sat plus a night dive and 4 dives on Sunday.

How have you worked in the extra 2 dives? Also, another curious question, timing seems about right, is this a coral spawning dive?
