Palm Beach Dive Thread

Do you think the weather hitting today and tomorrow on the coast will impact diving visibility next weekend?

My knee jerk reaction is that the amount of impact will likely vary with the specific location. Places like BHB seem to get mucked up from rain water run off more than fast current areas that are a mile or so off the beach.

The silver lining is that there will likely be somewhere that is worth diving as long as the immediate weather is not problematic.

I'm thinking down towards Key Largo.

I'm thinking down towards Key Largo.

I don't dive there much, but with the prevailing north current, I would expect that area to be less affected than most of the state, unless the messy weather is to the southwest of there

Well, I thought it was a leatherback and so did another diver but my skills in sealife identification are really weak so there’s a high probability it was NOT a leatherback.

I most definitely did NOT see a leatherback turtle.

I think I saw my first tiger on breakers yesterday. And then at the safety stop, I believe a sandbar shark swam by.

I see the biggest concentration and variety of sharks off of Juno ledge
