Sharks on a Bubble
by Shawn Garner

The art gallery idea didn't work out this year. Art Basel came and went. I didn't find underwater art at any gallery, so we're now developing a plan to showcase marine art online. Maybe in the store. You can find out more about art by visiting MiamiARTonline.

If you're new to the site, put your contact information in the box, so we can send you information.

Miami-Dade County has several designated reef sites that lie parallel to the coast.

Check out MiamiBeachDiving for video clips of Tenneco Towers, Wreck Trek and more.


Charter the dive boat...It's the same as chartering a fishing boat, a yacht, or a limousine. For a flat rate, we'll provide a captain and required equipment. You just need a valid 'C-card,' and a dive buddy or 2 - actually, up to 11. You can pick the dive sites, the depth and the music.

Call for prices and various options: 305.940.0927.

We have great 'wreckreational' diving and we'd like to put some pictures and video online.

With that in mind, we have an underwater camera available for use on the dive boat, and plan to offer a photography course, as soon as we get the underwater art gallery in place.

By the way, if you're not on our email list, please enter your address in the boxes below. We are planning to send updates on the store, the local diving, and a new travel program that should be in place this month. You can 'opt-out' of the list at any time.

From our dock at Haulover Park marina, you can dive the oil platforms, located just north of Golden Beach, or the Conception, located in the Sunny Isles reef site. A little to the south is the Miami Beach Wreck Trek, a relatively shallow (50-60 feet) trail of material with a pair of army tanks at its southern end. The Wreck Trek is part of the Anchorage reef site, which is deeper (80+), but contains a variety of ships, like the Rio Miami.

Click here for a glimpse of an artificial reef with an attitude. The County is planning to do some work on the site in 2007. For more information on the Miami Beach Wreck Trek, check out MiamiBeachDiving.

The Anchorage site also contains a ship called the Tortuga, which was sunk during the closing sequence of the Cindy Crawford/Billy Baldwin epic, Fair Game. Beyond Government Cut is the Key Biscayne Special Management Zone with more than a dozen ships and barges, such as the Orion, Proteus and Doc DeMilly.
