A little farther north than the actual Dry Tortugas area, we did a dive on a couple of spots on the way back to Ft. Myers.
Diving in the Dry Tortugas:
- Directions from Tampa: At 70 miles west of Key West, still in (I think) US territory, you'll have to go by boat.
- Conditions on the day of my visit: Sunny.
- Personal Notes: The Baja California is a 266 foot freighter sunk in World War II. The L-Tower is actually an Air Force communications tower we tied up to and dove on.
Pictures!
Baja California |
 A shot of a Grouper in the distance. |
 Yes there isn't a lot of light for this shot, but when you realize that that Grouper isn't really that far away and there's a ton of tiny fish between him and me, you understand why there's not a lot of light. |
L-Tower |
 An Arrow Crab. |
 The tower was home to a lot of fish, more than some reef areas I've been on. |
 The Barracuda were plenty. |
 I think this is some kind of Anemonie. |
 The Barracuda weren't really that shy either. |
