For those of you that are interested in viewing the Mohawk Reef deployment by boat TISIRI has provided a map below with the GPS coordinates of the center of Charlie’s Reef and other existing reef sites in the area including a sunken vessel and a railroad cars reef. The Mohawk will be deployed in the Chalie’s reef site and we would recommend boaters to head towards GPS coordinates 26°33.20N 82°43.20W (Charlie’s Reef center point) until they see the large Mohawk on the horizon. Once on site please be aware there will be a .5 mile clearance distance from the vessel.

One of the reefs TISIRI divers investigated this past weekend offshore St. Augustine Florida is a sunken tugboat known as Reggie’s Tug. The wreck lies in about 100 feet of water roughly 25 miles East of the St. Augustine inlet. Although the tug boat is of modest size, under a 100 feet in length, it is a largely productive reef. The vessel structure is completely encrusted with coral, sponge, algae, and much more.

Offshore St. Augustine, in about 75 feet of water, lies a relatively small barge reef known as the little barge reef. With dimensions of 20 feet by 60 feet it is also known as the 20 X 60 barge. Although a smaller site it is packed full of marine life. Below are pictures of the reef structure and some of the marine life encountered.

TISIRI investigated Taylor Reef offshore St. Augustine Florida this past Saturday. Offshore conditions were great, with mild seas and about 30 feet of visibility at the reef site. Divers encountered a variety of Fish species including grouper, snapper, tomtates, and much more. Also encountered were sea turtles and nurse sharks. See the pictures below to get a better idea of the reef structures and the inhabiting marine life.

On March 29th of this year TISIRI hosted a reefs insight event at Intuition Ale Works. The marine awareness and social event was a large success. We greatly appreciate everybody that was able to make it out. Below are pictures of the event. Please let us know if you find yourself in any of the pictures by commenting below. Thanks
