A Local Trip Spotlight

Wreck of the "Valiant" & Little Farnsworth Pinnacle aboard the Magician Dive boat. The Valiant wreck off of Casino Point is a 162 foot long luxury steam liner that sunk in 1930. Her stern sits in about 70 feet of water with the bow bottoming out around 100 feet. You need a permit to dive this beautiful wreck, so take this opportunity while you still can!!

After diving the beautiful wreck of the valiant, you will head over to the Farnsworth Pinnacle for reefs with unparalleled beauty.
Little Farnsworth is a pinnacle dive that lies very close to Avalon, and very close to the shore. The top of the pinnacle comes up to 55ft, and the bottom around the pinnacle is around 120ft. The pinnacle is like a smaller version of Farnsworth Wall, although it doesn't have the amount of Purple Hydrocoral that Big Farnsworth is famous for. The entire pinnacle is covered in white and yellow zooanthid anemones, which makes for a very colorful scene. Many nudibranchs can be found on the wall of the pinnacle, and cabezon and lingcod lurk in the crevices along side with pinnacle. Sheephead are very common all over the pinnacle. Divers have sometimes seen giant sea bass at this dive site. When doing your safety stop, look for jellyfish and salps floating by in the current. Visibility can be great here, and the water can be very blue

We will be diving the "Gardens of the Queen" which are a complex network of untouched marine ecosystems that have been regarded by many knowledgeable scientists and organizations as a reference of what is the original status of a coral reef as Christopher Columbus found it in the times of the discovery.

The biggest populations of adult fish in the Caribbean, Sharks, Snappers and Groupers, Jewfish up to 400 Pounds are an everyday experience. Sharks are one of the main attractions and can be seen everywhere. It is possible to dive with 6 different species: Silkies, Reef, Lemon, Black tip, Great Hammerhead and Nurse sharks.

Dive sites are covered in thriving healthy coral reefs and schools of fish like chromis, creole wrasse and sergeant majors. Larger pelagics patrol the outer edges of the reefs and barracudas, turtles and sting rays frequently swim right through dive groups. Seahorses and frogfish are common and other rarer critters like batfish, flying gurnards, yellow head jawfish and upside-down jellyfish can be found if you carefully search the reefs.

We will also take a boat to explore the deep water just off shore that is home to the world’s largest toothed whale, the Sperm Whale. Watching these magnificent creatures is a memory you will never forget. Details Click Here
