Neato. They're pricey for rig diving, but these small-party Flower Gardens trips are intriguing! I wonder what their transit time is... they leave out of Galveston rather than Freeport too. I should forward this website over to the Sanctuary folks...
For rig diving, I've always heard good things about Ultra Dive. Never tried 'em though.

I have heard that they found a reef off the coast of Texas (not Flower Gardens) but cannot find any information on it. Is this true?
I copied each link to the sticky with Texas dive sites.
People are always asking about rig trips off the Texas coast. I am getting real interested in spearfishing. It looks like, from these listings, that $135 for a two tank is the best rate.
I may be looking to schedule a trip or two. Anyone interested?

Of the rig trips listed I like Out to Sea the best. There isn't a wole lot of difference between Galveston and Port A. for me.
Native Texan 2 has a 30 minute time limit on all dives. I don't like time limits. I understand they are on a strict schedule, but I like to plan my own dives and do my thing.
Pretty broad cost range for the boats. Broad range of boats too. Thanks for the info yall.

I would be in on a possible group charter,,,,I have several dive buddies that if schd. permitted would prob. join the group. Both Fish n Dive and Out to Sea look good. Most of these small charter guys start running in April.........I am avlb. during mid week for trips as well in many cases. I would be a 'greenhorn' at this private charter rig diving.

Just FYI this charter boat operator is also a boat captain for Gulf Diving's Fling and Spree.
There are "pinnacle reefs" all over the continental shelf and upper slope, throughout the Gulf. The majority are a bit deeper and smaller than the Flower Gardens, but trust me, there's plenty of the things. Reef fishes and coral galore, many are marked on the nav charts.goofystan:
The local Sanctuary's been actively surveying many of these the last few years. They use ROV's, submersibles, and occasionally, scuba divers. Fun stuff.
