How are you doing in Florida?

..How are you doing in Florida?

Several dive boats went out this morning. I know Wetter the Better was full. One of my guys (Chuckitall) said it was incredible top to bottom crystal clear viz, but 3-5's. Friday is going to be tough getting out of the inlet at 6-8 footers.

Went out yesterday on loggerhead. Great dives. Nice viz and 79 degree water. No sharks, a few eels, lots of spade fish, and the biggest lion I've ever seen. Also a very friendly goliath. Just 4 people on the boat made it nice. Calm in the beginning but seas started getting a bit choppy.

Went out today with Walker bay in west palm. Big seas.... full boat.... some cookies were tossed. But great dives. Saw humongous loggerhead, sawfish, quite a few lemons. Another huge school of spadefish. Also a cool anemone. Was a DM led dive.... glad I didn't have to carry a flag in the ripping current. Separately, some guy speared a nice amberjack and another a yellow jack.
Also... got bitten on the ear by a trigger. I feel so violated...#metoo.

Looks like tomorrow is a bust but Saturday ok as winds turn westerly.

Hi Andrew,

I've still never seen a sawfish, will keep trying

Loggerhead with a light load is luxury. Who was driving, Jim or Alex?

The Grey Triggers can be very aggressive

Very best and good diving, Craig
