About Caribbean reef Squid..

The Caribbean Reef Squid is found throughout the Caribbean Sea as well as off the coast of Florida, commonly in small schools of 4-30 in the shallows associated with reefs. The habitat of the Reef Squid changes according to the squid's stage of life and size. New hatchlings tend to reside close to the shore in areas from 0.2-1 meters below the surface on or under vegetation. Young small squid typically congregate in shallow turtle grass near islands and remain several centimeters to two meters from the surface to avoid bird predators. Adults venture out into open water and can be found in depths up to 100 m. When mating, adults are found near coral reefs in depths of 1.5-8 m. The Caribbean Reef Squid is the only squid species commonly sighted by divers over inshore reefs in the Florida, Bahamas and Caribbean region.

LABOR DAY with Phantom Divers!

Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September.
The holiday originated in 1882 as the Central Labor Union of New York City sought to create "a day off for the working citizens." Congress made Labor Day a federal holiday on June 28, 1894, two months after the May Day Riots of 1894. May 4 was chosen to remember the Haymarket Affair. All 50 U.S. states have made Labor Day a state holiday.
Labor Day has been celebrated on the first Monday in September in the United States since the 1880s. The form for the celebration of Labor Day was outlined in the first proposal of the holiday—a street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations," followed by a festival for the workers and their families. This became the pattern for Labor Day celebrations.

Labor day means "NO LABOR"
No labor means DIVING!!

LION FISH in Riviera Maya.

It may sounds strange to many of us that Lion Fish (Pterois volitans) has increased its presence in the Mexican Caribbean in recent months .This specie is authentic from western Pacific and Oceania.
Lion fish is noted for its beauty and devastating to the ecosystem as well. Recently ,Private Institutions convened a meeting with all dive shops in the Riviera Maya and PHANTOM DIVERS was there . We are committed to help to our planet, is a way to thank nature for all the gifts provided to us in the Mexican Caribbean.
Lion fish can reach 38 cm and weighing 1200 g, is a territorial fish that sometimes swiftly towards anything to hurt the aggressor with its thorns. All spines are poisonous and sting, although it is relatively painless at first, it is extremely painful after a while, depending on the venom received. They are carnivores that feed on small fish, crustaceans and molluscs and are remarkably quick to adapt to new prey consumed.

WRECK DIVING..Playa del Carmen

There´s nothing quite like the thrill of diving a wreck for the first time. Descending, you gaze downward, trying to catch a glimpse of it. At first, nothing. Then a hazy outline appears, and for a moment you´re confused as your eyes try to sort it out. Then the wreck dissolves into clear view as you arrive upon it.
Wrecks offers diversity, attractions and opportunities not found in "natural" dive enviroments-but nature encroaches as the underwater world changes it into an artificial reef teeming with life.
We offer you ship wreck diving in Playa del Carmen, México. Ask for more info to:
