Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 8-10, 2017 Thursday – Weather forecast is looking better After 4 days of cloudy skies, high winds, and rough seas, we finally had a decent day forecasted.

Three weeks back from our trip and I’m finally getting around to posting the video I shot while diving in the Dry Tortugas. As a recap, we ended up diving at 3 spots: Texas Rock, Davis Rock and Off Ramp. We also snorkeled a lot of other areas, but this post is about scuba diving. …
After we spent a week in Key West, we left on Saturday morning and headed to Jewfish Basin to anchor for a few days. On our way there, we stopped at a local dive spot called Alexander’s Wreck. Corey had found this spot on his research of dive spots in the Key West area and since …

After 2 great days (Sunday and Monday) diving, we were psyched to continue with our routine. On Tuesday and Wednesday we headed out early in order to grab a mooring ball at Looe Key. Both days weren’t quite as calm and clear as the previous 2 days, but the diving continued to not disappoint. Since …
On our second day of diving in the Dry Tortugas, we decided to check out a group of mooring buoys that were all in the same vicinity of location. These buoys are Off Ramp, Davis Rock and Texas Rock: We dove the first two sites (Off Ramp and Davis Rock) and were completely stoked that …

In 1907, the large sailing vessel named Avanti struck the Loggerhead reef after a navigational error. The heavily damaged ship eventually broke apart and sank though the crew was saved.
