Sounds like a plan!Dang it…guess I just need to keep diving some more until I see one.
A very good one
I think I saw my first tiger on breakers yesterday. And then at the safety stop, I believe a sandbar shark swam by.

Dove with Pura Vida today, Capt. Dean, Crew Amber, Luca and Quinn.
Ocean conditions were benign on top, pretty flat. First dive was on Ron's reef, second one North Flower Gardens. Viz was 40ft max on the first dive, very variable 25-40ft on second dive. Current was variable from brisk to gentle. Water temp was around 78-79, I was comfortable in my 5mm as I hate coldish water. Saw a big fat lemon, 4 loggerheads (one super friendly), one really big stingray and the usual crowd of reef fish. At the end of the second dive other divers also saw a reef shark.

Dove Scubaworks this morning. Guide Darryl with Andre. Captain and crew were excellent but I have a goldfish memory for names. First drop was Area 51. My Garmin showed colder than the Florida Springs below the thermocline. My wife and I weren't wearing wetsuits so we stayed above it. 2nd drop was just north of Palm Beach Inlet much more comfortable temps, brisk current and saw a few turtles. Floated over a fairly flat wreck with a ton of schooling fish.
Edit. Visibility was around 30~40 feet and somewhat cloudy on both sites.

I dove with Stuart Scuba on Saturday. We had 2 ft seas, 82-84 degree water temps, 40ft dirty vis, and a very strong north current.

Dove PuraVida Sunday afternoon. Capt Dean, Delaney and Brent. Storms brewing on shore. Hit Danny's first, low to mid 80's temps and fair visibility no thermocline. Saw a shark ( black tip reef probably) a lot of baracuda and a few Goliath Grouper.
Found I had a leaky octo on the surface interval. Delay for me swapped out with a loaner before the next dive! ...I had everything but a BCD inflator hose in my reg bag. Drop 2 was on Ana Cecelia. Temps still in the 80's no thermocline. Visability was great ( overcast cut down on how far we could see). Ton of GG's with moderate north current. & my wife completely her AOW with the 2nd dive. Her instructor Juan was phenomenal!
