Tenneco Towers Wreck + Reef Drift: Lionfish Hunting Allowed (Private Charter)

Join the Dive Club for a private two-tank boat charter: the Tenneco Towers wreck, then a drift dive on the reef off Haulover. Spearfishing, lobstering and lionfish hunting are all allowed.

Dive 1: Tenneco Towers Oil platforms from the Gulf of Mexico, sunk in 1985 as part of Broward County's artificial reef program. You descend the mooring line to the top deck at around 60 ft, with the sand at the base around 110 ft. Expect barracuda, amberjack, groupers, and a lot of lionfish. It's one of my favorite dives in Florida. The one time I dove it, I caught 6 lionfish.

Dive 2: Drift Dive Reef A drift along the reef off Haulover, 40 to 100 ft depending on which way we head. The boat drops you up-current and follows your float. Plenty of lobster and lionfish.
