This video is about the UTMSI Pier Lab that was destroyed by a wayward ship two days after Hurricane Harvey Struck Port Aransas, Texas. Music: www.purple-plan...
I started diving the Port A jetties in 1967. Made hundreds of dives over the years....mostly in 60's and 70's....but most recent about 2008. Same jetties. Same goofy sheepshead. Same jewel-like juvenile spotfin butterfly fish and juv damsels. Blennies...hermit crabs....the whole crew. What beautiful video---well shot, edited. Loved it. If I get released from Covid Virus Jail in LA I'm diving the jetties again this summer.
Thank you for sharing this video. Watching it has brought back some very happy memories from my childhood in Ingleside, Texas when my father would take my brother and me snorkeling at the jetties. I hope you will make more of them and maybe some longer ones. Wishing you all the best!!
THAT was GREAT! Thank you so much. I never realized Port A's jetties had so many varieties of fish. That settles it, I'm getting certified. Seriously, snook?!?
if you didn't realize, there are literally snook everywhere. I don't know why people don't catch them more often, maybe they don't like to take bait, but there are hundred upon hundreds down there. at least 10% of them are 30-40 inches.
max of forty feet but most dives occur shallower near the rocks. Current, low, vis, climbing in and out with full gear over slippery barnacle and oyster covered rocks, boats wakes and surge, entanglement hazards, etc. are some of the hazards

I never realized that there were bicolor damsels and spotfin butterfly fish around here, that’s really cool!

Port Aransas area needs more offshore structure. But TPWD is missing in action.
Nice video! Thanks!
Cool.

Evan Garcia, Thanks.
