7/27/13 Jupiter Wreck and Shark Diving

[corvettejoe]

Saturday's Wreck/Shark dives:

We went out on a local charter in Jupiter, FL. to do some wreck dives and find some sharks. This guy is known for knowing exact spots where to find some rare sharks...and sharks we found!

Hammerheads, Reef, Lemon, Blacktip, Bull and many others.
The Hammerheads were the coolest thing to see though.

These guys were RIGHT in our faces...and HUGE, 10ft or so for most of the sharks.

This was the Jupiter Wreck Trek...in consisted of 3 wrecks, the Zion Train, the Miss Jenny and the Esso Bonaire. The Bonaire is the one that I went inside and had the most photos from.

the Wheelhouse... imagine a person standing inside this...and how LARGE this fish is:

Looking out the wheelhouse:

I didn't bring any gloves or lighting, as I wasn't planning to go inside. I would like to go back with proper equipment though to get better photos.

Shallow reefs we did afterward... artsy stuff, nothing fancy:

Porkfish

Angel (forgot which type)

Great photos! The Sgt Majors are actually porkfish.

Great pictures Joe! It was nice meeting you out there, this is Mickey. Cameron and I had a blast making that video, that hammerhead shark was awesome! Hope to see you out on Randy's boat again sometime soon, I think we're on Saturday (August 3rd) AM boat trip.

I've got some more photos of you all. I'll have to get them processed and upload them for you guys.
