Neptune Memorial Reef with Deco Divers


It was a hot and beautiful day with Capt. Ani and Deco Divers with nice warm water and great viz. 

Dive 1: Neptune Memorial Reef. Seas 2-3', viz 40 feet, depth 43, water temp 83, moderate current. It's getting time to come out of the wet suits and the warm water felt fantastic. This unique dive site is an underwater columbarium (thank you Rudy!) which is the largest man-made coral reef ever conceived housing cremated remains of the departed in a unique arrangement of high arches, temples and lion statues. Hundreds of memorial plaques are scattered throughout the site honoring the deceased in the shape of turtles, starfish, clamshells and other sea creatures. This site attracts an abundance of marine life including schools of yellowtails and snappers, large gray angelfish in pairs, tangs, trunkfish, huge barracudas patrolling the arches, enormous pufferfish and large trumpetfish. 

Dive 2: RJ's Ledge. Seas 2-3', viz 30 feet, depth 27, water temp 83, no current. This site has interesting relief with lots of nooks and crannies for critters to hide in. We saw an abundance of schooling yellowtails, along with lobster, perfectly intact brain coral, parrotfish and tangs. It was a great day of diving!

Dive Against Debris on Saturday, June 8
Be part of the world’s largest underwater community science movement by joining us for Dive Against Debris, a program from the PADI AWARE Foundation. Your participation will help the organization create a blueprint to achieve their critical conservation goal to reduce marine debris by 50% in targeted countries by 2030. Our Dive Against Debris will take place at the Blue Heron Bridge in which you will learn tips for debris collection and collect debris at the Bridge dive site. After the dive all participants will bring their debris to our pavilion where it will be weighed, surveyed and discarded. Our marine debris survey will be added to PADI’s database of over 2.3 million pieces of marine debris already removed from the ocean, contributing to their critical scientific research that advances the PADI Blueprint for Ocean Action.

Participation in this fun event is free of charge and will be followed by a BBQ. There will be prizes awarded for largest item, heaviest item, most unusual item and more. All you need to participate is your gear, air tank, and a mesh bag to collect debris. You can also earn the PADI Dive Against Debris Diver Specialty Certification for an additional fee which counts toward the Advanced Open Water and Master Scuba Diver Certifications. RSVP to Rachel at 786-316-9852 or simply reply to this email to sign up or for more information on this fun and rewarding experience.
