This wreck was a shrimp boat that sank in rough seas. Now, the wreck lies in 60ft of water off the coast. Now, schools of fish, eels, turtles, and rays are seen on the wreck. It's great for nearly every diver looking for adventure in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. 11 miles off the coast of South Padre Island.
473 foot shipwreck, sunk in 132 feet of water. Part of her is as shallow as 63 feet. In 1965 was the first Texas Maritime Training Academy ship. She was part of the Sea Cadets at Texas A&M University in Galveston, Texas. By boat from South Padre Island
Very beautiful. A must in South Padre!! Coral is very great. Lots of sponges are located here as well as other kinds of coral (hence the name). Fish too. You need to be careful though. Is a deep dive for advanced and mixed gas divers only. You can reach Sponge Gardens seamount from South Padre. By boat only. Ocean a little rough at times. Note: GPS required. This one is wrong and set the dive site inland :)
