Recent Dive Trips
May was a great month for diving in Clearwater! We started the month out with a great trip on May 2nd were we had over 40 feet of viz on Veteran's Barges and water temp at 75 degrees. It continued to get warmer throughout the month and ended with water temps at 80 degrees! We were able to run trips every weekend during May and viz was usually pretty good (avg. 20-25 feet).
On the Memorial day trip, divers were surprised with a trip out to the Sheridan/Blackthorn and watermelon & cupcakes. The Sheridan was a great dive that day! It was completely covered with baitfish and schools of jacks. In addition, it had the usual Goliath Grouper or two. It was an amazing experience to be in the middle of the baitfish and for it to become almost dark as they circled you.
With the water warming up, more fish are out on the ledges and wrecks. Also, things are turning more colorful with tunicates, anemones and just more coral growth. Several Goliath Grouper have been spotted at the various dive sites with the most seen on Rube Allyn. May was a good month for diving and looks like June is also off to a good start!
Thanks to all of those that dove with us in May! Below are some photos from these dive trips.
Divers on Tanks-A-Lot encountered some great underwater life that included various species of grouper, grunts, hogfish, sea cucumbers, hermit crabs, turtles, barracuda, goliath grouper and many more species. Some of our favorite dive sites included the Airplane Barge, Sheridan, Blackthorn, Rube Allyn and Turtle ledge and several other natural ledges.
