About this Dive Site
Description
Stetson Bank, part of the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, offers a unique geological experience rather than a coral reef. Divers will find sponge-covered pinnacles and sand flats teeming with abundant marine life, including sponges, fire coral, and sea urchins. Explore this fascinating underwater landscape where the depths range from 17 to 62 meters.
