Best for intermediate divers, 12-34m, boat entry, mild current.
The V A Fogg is a shipwreck and artificial reef located in the Gulf of Mexico. Resting at depths between 12 and 34 metres, the site provides a complex structure on an otherwise featureless seafloor. Divers should be prepared for variable visibility ranging from 5 to 15 metres, which can shift rapidly during a dive. Conditions include mild currents, though surge and swell may impact the site. Due to the depth and the nature of the wreck, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Entanglement risks exist near the structure, requiring careful buoyancy and wreck awareness. A boat is required to reach this location, which sits approximately 67 kilometres from shore.

Visibility on the V.A. Fogg changes fast, sometimes within a single dive, so carry a torch even on daytime dives to handle sudden drops in ambient light inside or around the structure. Confirm sea state with your charter before departure, as swell in the Gulf can make the surface interval and re-entry uncomfortable on smaller boats.
