Galveston Diving

Day Trips

Diving offshore in Galveston is a unique and beautiful experience. During our day trips we will dive two sites that are located roughly 70 miles offshore or a 3 hour boat ride. Our primary dive site will either be Stetson Bank, part of the Flower Gardens National Marine Sanctuary, or the Kraken. The Kraken is a 371 foot cargo ship that Texas Parks and Wildlife sank as part of the artificial reef program. The dive begins at 60 feet with an average depth of 100-110 feet. The main cabins of the vessel have been opened up to accommodate divers. On this dive you will see everything from french angels to large jacks and grouper. After that, divers will have an hour to two hour surface interval with the opportunity to take a swim in the clear blue waters of the Gulf. The second dive will be at an oil rig. The legs of the oil rig are teeming with sponge and coral growth as well as fish species. You will have to opportunity to see everything from small file fish to larger grouper and maybe even a shark or two. These are usually 80 foot dives.
