Today was my last dive day for this trip. I did 2 dives with Starfish out of Boynton. Capt Chris, Madi, and Ren were on the boat, only 5 divers.

It was a beautiful sunny day, seas were 1-2 feet. For both dives, there was a very mild south current. Water temperature was the highest of the week 80-81 degrees. Visibility was good, +/- 50 feet.

The first dive was on the Castor. The ball was attached to the bow. There were 6-8 big Barracuda hanging out on the bow. Back at the stern, there were only a couple of Goliath Grouper. With the minimal current, they may have been hanging out off the wreck. There was a gorgeous large school of Crevalle Jack that circled me for several minutes, silver glinting in the sun. There was also a large school of Bermuda Chub.

The second dive was a very relaxing drift from Black Condo through Gulfstream. The dive was packed by all of the usual reef fish.

This was a very nice visit, I got in 11 dives in the 5 dives I had available to me. As usual, I'm looking forward to my next visit.
