Room for a few more on offshore dive charter this weekend leaving out of Freeport.

[gbeardjr]

Join us offshore for a 3 tank diving trip Either Saturday August 17th or Sunday August 18th.
We will leave from the Bridge Bait Dock in Freeport. Show up at 7:30 AM, Go at 8:00 AM. Arrive at first dive site 40 miles offshore around 9:30 AM. ETA back at dock 5:30 PM

Planned stops may include Star Reef, Liberty Fogg wrecks and or nearby platform rigs.

Star Reef is a little known cluster of six toppled platforms arranged in a tight star pattern that is part of the TPWD Liberty artificial reef site. Top is 70' and bottom is at 105'. We typically find lots of fish here including large snapper, triggers, angels, cobia, butterflies, spades and more. Nearby and also part of the same reef site are several Liberty Ships and the VA Fogg (which is mostly rubble now). Tops are 80-90'. Within a few miles there are several surface platforms in the 100' water.

Cost is $250.00/diver.
Tank rentals $15.00/tank

Here's a shot of the Fogg, Conoco Tower, and the Allen Liberty Ship. I have a shot of the Shaw as well, but some brain surgeon turned off the multibeam as we went over the Star reef.

Wow thanks that is a great image thanks! we dove the rubble area of the Fogg not long ago it was just that a pile or rubble and hazards, the liberty ship right next to it is on the radar for this weekend now though.

This one shows the relative positions between the Shaw and the Allen. As I said, the multibeam was turned off while going over the Star Reef, but it's between them and slightly east.
