Want Your Own Artificial Reef?

reefOver the past 18 years, Reefmaker’s David Walter has deployed over 14,000 private artificial reefs in the waters around Alabama and Florida. The process is relatively simple: choose a spot where you want to place a reef; call David and order one of his reefs (prices range from $150 for a FAD to $1350 for a 20’ x 8’ shipping container); he obtains the permits and deploys the reef. You can ride along if you like. Check out Reefmaker’s website for a 3-minute video of one of his reefs.

There are, however, strict rules concerning reef-placement and coordinate-keeping, which seems strange, until you consider that many of David’s customers are high-end clients who are creating the reefs for private fishing or diving spots. Obviously, they don’t want everybody knowing where their new spot it. It sounds like a great idea for a local dive club.
