When diving with the M/V Miss Teak, you will
have the opportunity to visit many different dive sites. Within a short boat
ride from Destin's East Pass you will be enjoying a variety of wrecks as well
as natural and artificial reefs! Below is a brief description of just
some of the 63 dive sites available to our divers.
Wrecks:
One of our customer's favorite dive sites is The Lost
Barge or The Phoenix. This barge was intentionally
sunk to serve as a reef close in shore. She lies in 80ft. of water and is
usually one of the better dives in the area supporting abundant marine life and
typically better than average visibility.
Another favorite is the Miss Janet. When you
hear the captain say this will be your dive site for today then you are in for
a real treat. Since this wreck is buried beneath 100ft. of water, 10 miles away
from the East Pass, a visit to her decks are somewhat uncommon. However, should
you be one of the lucky divers to take the plunge you will be rewarded with a
largely intact ship. The Miss Janet is an 85ft. tug boat
that was sunk a few years ago to add to the Emerald Coasts reef
habitat. She sports a reasonable coral growth and a large variety of
fish.
Natural Reefs:
One of our favorite reefs to dive on is the White Hill
reef. This reef lies in around 85 ft. and has some of the largest reliefs
in the area. Here you will normally find a wide variety of coral and
abundant marine life.
The Triplets is another natural reef that lies
in around 85-90ft. of water. Here is where you will often find the
small intricate animals that intrigue photographers such as nudibranch, and sea
horses.
Artificial Reefs:
Some of the more common dive sites in the area but no less
interesting are the artificial reefs. We will visit one of our many
artificial reefs on almost every trip.
The Bridge Rubble:
There are 3 main portions to The Bridge Rubble,
the East, West and the Main Stack. The average depth on the dive is 70 ft.
The Three Warriors:
One of our personal favorite artificial reefs in the area is The
Three Warriors. This site is made up of three M-60 U.S. Army
tanks. On a decent day you can dive all three tanks at the same time but
if visibility is low then you would be restricted to just two.
