Back in SE FL

I was down in September, after Irma, it was not great. I took a month off and went to Cayman Brac, that was excellent. I came back down on Thursday.

Yesterday, I went out with JDC for their Friday 3 tanker. The first dive on Deep Ledge was phenomenal, many, many sharks, mostly Bulls, a few Goliath Groupter, many Jacks of several kinds. Of course, we did follow Emerald on the drift. The visibility was not great, 30-40 feet, water temp was 80. 2nd and 3rd dives were on Area 51 and Capt Mike's. A Reef Shark, a few Nurse Sharks, a turtle, few Green Morays and the usual reef fish. Visibility was about the same, as was the water temp. Seas were not bad but picked up in the afternoom.

Went out with Narcosis this morning, as did 12 or 13 other divers. We did Drifting Spot and South Double Ledge. The visibility was poor and it was dark, 20-30 ft. Water temp was 78, cold toward the surface and at the safety stop. The dives were fine, usual reef fish, nothing special. Seas were probably a little under the prediction of 4-6 with occ 8.

If I'm lucky, will get out with Narcosis again tomorrow morning, nobody going out of Boynton Beach or Jupiter.

I saw the forecast mid week and decided Friday was best for me and went out (yesterday) with Narcosis. Viz was about 60, water 79. Did Corridor wrecks and a reef. Didn't see a lot except for GG's. Enjoyed the wrecks and got a great tour of the AC by Finch.

Downside is I took an undeserved hit. No symptons until drive home....pretty f'ed up. Chamber yesterday and today....maybe more, waiting on doc.

@Ghetto Diver,
I hope you recover ASAP. Sorry to hear about this. Take care and get well soon.

PS: I see both you and @scubadada are regulars with Narcosis. We probably know each other or better stated, have seen each other. We used to frequent Narcosis every weekend for years... we do miss Capt. Van and have since returned very sporadically with Narcosis.

Hi @Ricardo V.

I dive mostly in Boynton Beach, and then, Jupiter. I usually dive in West Palm when I can't get out of the other two. Van was unique, I like Alex too, and the same crew is there

South Palm Beach County Viz has been awful. Brown water yesterday. And now stirred up with this blow, won't be looking to go until next weekend
