Heard from Brad (via Ryan) at JDC that temps are back up to 81 in Jupiter. Strong current and up to 80-100 feet of viz in some areas.

Just a quick update on Jupiter diving. Have done a couple dives on the local reefs with Jupiter Dive Center; the Goliaths are here, have only seen small numbers so far. Water temp down to 68F at 75 feet!!!! Lucky I brought a shorty and full 3/2. Also did a 3 tank shark dive with Emerald, fantastic fun, saw "Dusky" sharks and a couple 10 foot lemons. Water temp at depth around 73F. Chilly!!! Weird, though; the top of the water column is in the 80's, so feels like a bath tub at the end of the dive.

Detailed trip reports to follow in a few days. Going out for more Goliaths in the morning.

Oh...a few lobster hunters on board; they grab a few but not many. Nobody is limiting out.

I got out today (Saturday 8/12) with JDC. Bluffs and Scarface. 71 degrees below 30 feet and 25-30 feet of viz. Strong surface current with almost no bottom current. Greenish water. Grabbed a couple bugs and called it a day. Not my favorite dive but better than sitting at home on a Saturday.

Never thought I’d say this, but I’m ready for winter diving so the water will warm up.

And reports yesterday of 70degrees on the very shallow MG111. I'm diving tomorrow north WPB. I gotta find some weedlines=bottom current=warm water. Thank you & appreciate the conditions reports to help the rest of us make a plan !!!
