Meet Reef Fish at Flower Garden Banks

Freeport is 100 miles away from the Flower Garden banks. This marine sanctuary offers a wide range of diving opportunities. The balmy Gulf Coast waters, teeming with life, have made this a refuge for divers and sea life alike.

The beauty is unrivaled, with some of the world's largest and most brilliant coral reefs. The pristine waters are teeming with chub, jack, and barracuda. They aren't the only ones who live in the neighborhood. Spinner dolphins and manta rays can also be found in the region. There are also a lot of sharks to be found. Hammerhead sharks and silky sharks are common sights. There are also a few whale sharks in the vicinity.

This is not a dive for a casual, spur-of-the-moment dive. You must be adaptable if the weather changes or the currents deteriorate. It's possible that you'll have to cancel your vacation and try again the next day. You wouldn't be the only diver to miss out due to bad weather, so accept it and make sure you have a backup plan.
