Flower Garden Banks Diving Tour

Flower Garden Banks NMS, located 115 miles off the Texas/Louisiana coast, harbors some of the healthiest coral reefs in the Caribbean. There are only two ways to get out to the Flower Garden Banks sanctuary...by Coast Guard jet or by boat. Of course, the most likely seems to be by boat. There are several commercial dive and fishing charter operators that take people out to the sanctuary and surrounding oil and gas platforms. However, if you choose to head out on a private boat, you’ll need to be aware of the sanctuary boundaries, mooring buoy coordinates, sanctuary regulations and reef etiquette.
