Technical Diving Our area has nearly a
dozen shipwrecks that lie beyond the sport divers recreational,
no-decompression, limits, the Miller Lite and the R.B. Johnson and the
Hydro Atlantic are but three of the better known ones. We offer charters
to these sites, but only to groups with some advance notice. We do,
however have trips running daily to sites where the Nitrox diver can
enjoy the longer bottom times that gas mixture allows. Nitrox divers are
welcome on all our dives. If you have yet to take this specialty course,
consider doing so while you spend your dive vacation with us.
Night Diving
If you have never been on a night dive, you have no idea of the
underwater magic you are missing. The true colors of the reef come alive
at night under the divers light. Many of Neptune's creatures that hide
by day now roam across the reef, while the daytime critters snooze
peacefully under ledges and in holes. Night diving is a way to add new
excitement to a familiar area only dove in daytime before. Under a full
moon on a calm night, divers can turn off their light and still see
amazing things. Just waving your hand in front of you excites
microscopic animals in the water which turn luminescent for a brief
moment, like Tinker Bell waving her magic wand.
At night, lobster crawl from their holes and form long conga lines,
as they migrate northward in the darkness. These lobster walks, are the
dream of every diver. At night, grouper and parrotfish hide in holes and
under ledges in slumber, where they can be approached and observed or
photographed very closely and with ease. Night diving opens the
underwater world to you all over again, in a whole new way. We schedule
night dives several times each week to many shallow reefs and wrecks. If
you have never enjoyed this magical experience before, you couldn't pick
a better place to try it than on our unique, three tiered reef system.
