Has anyone dove the Sponge Gardens? I think I dove this place or a similar place around 1982. I recall it being deep and very clear, out of South Padre. I don't recall that being the name but it shows on Google Earth Oceans as the Sponge Gardens. Any info on this area?

I think you must be talking about this American Diving-Sponge Gardens unless you are thinking of flower gardens. Either way, American Diving will be the ones to contact for some diving down there, unless you are bringing your boat. Sounds like something k-valve might like.
 
You sure you're not thinking of the Texas Hydrilla Gardens?
 
Sounds very cool. Will add it to my to-dive list!

No, but I am willing to give it a go....as would Rum Bum and a few others from this area.

Would you dive it vintage? Or would you prefer a little more technical?

It is deep....

Are you going to dive it in that barrel that is in your avatar? That's a little TOO vintage if you ask me. :) Looks like a good place, though.
 
Vintage? Hell, that's my new shell suit.

Oh, yes, you list it very eloquently in your profile: "Dive Equipment
This here barrel, a box o rocks, and a pink snorkel. "
