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.

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.
