| The Gulf is shallow and primarily sand. It is
dotted with natural habitat like reefs (hard bottom) and
ledges as well as artificial reefs. These areas attract
fish in massive numbers.
Our dive charter, "EL GAVLAN", is a "six pack" (six diver boat). This enables
us to range out
faster as the 50-60 foot sites that are 12-14 miles off shore. Our
charters range from Novak Reef that is 3 miles off-shore to the Bayronto
that is 35 miles off-shore. Contact us at
thecrew@fantaseascuba.com.
As you would expect, our water
temperatures in summer are "tropical" (80's). However, if you are
visiting in the winter months, don't leave that heavy suit at home as we
commonly see the temperature drop into the 50's (yes, we do use
dry-suits in Florida!)
During the winter months our area is
greatly affected by strong winds brought about by each cold front that
passes. Consequently, our diving is accomplished between them. The
winter winds can also have a negative effect on near shore visibility as
the wave action stirs up the bottom. |
