Yesterday we dove the Castor with Splashdown Dive Charters......We had an amazing surprise....it looks like they are about to spawn again, and the party has really grown.....I'm thinking well over 100 goliaths...
There is a quarter moon they may spawn at-- Wednesday night......Splashdown will go for this, weather permitting....and there is a New Moon on the 23rd, which is also a very high probability event. Ideally to witness the spawning, you would want to be in the water just before sunset.
As for me being wrong about the implications of this footage you can see.....I have vetted it with Christopher Koenig, Phd at FSU, and a top expert in Goliaths. He believes they will be spawning in the next couple of weeks....with the various cycles of the moon.
And the video

If you can go, join us for some fun on these two next opportunities.... I'd love to get some scuba-boarders on video, in the middle of a wild adventure dive like this!!!
p.s.
I am planning on Wednesday as a twilight dive, but I am NOT going if it is insanely rough.....the issue of getting the camera back on the boat without damage to it....
We have had flat calm the last couple of weeks, but today and tomorrow it is blowing....keep your fingers crossed for Wednesday!
