The Gulf of Mexico is a hidden gem of Florida. Despite rumors of poor visibility, The Gulf offers some of the most-diverse wildlife without having to drift by. Take some time to discover its true beauty on our 2-tank Gulf Dive. December is a great time of year to see the Gulf. The colder temperatures clear the water, improving the visibility and introducing wildlife that you don’t often see during the summer. This is a great time to see nudibranchs, spotted drum, sea hares, stone crabs, damsel fish, jacks, French angelfish, mackerel, bat fish and more!

We only have 8 slots so, please reserve your spot ASAP by contacting us at info@adventuretampa.com or calling us at 813-832-6669.
