Galveston Jetties

[IslandHopper]

When conditions are right, you could safely dive the jetties...

This won't happen but a handfull of times in a year though. I used to fish the south jetty quite often. You would need to watch for a day when the gulf is pretty much flat ... even then there will be some surge. Anything worth seeing (at least by way of live fish) will be on the gulf-side of the jetty ... I have caught 30"+ redfish there and have seen dolphins tearing up schools of fish within 20 yards of the rocks.

I was not a diver at the time though, so I never looked at it from that angle.

This dive shop closed in the late 90's. The most recent one that was (is) open was located on 53rd. st. on the right hand side before you go over the Pelican Island bridge. They were doing business with both the offshore industry and local divers. Call the Galvesto PD dispatcher and just ask them. They will know if one is still operating. Call Galv. Chamber of Commerce, they will also know. As an option, there is a dive shop behind the Fiesta liquor store at I-45 south and NASA Rd 1. (Sport Divers?)
