Coral Spawn 8-9 Sept???

[Carbomb]

I have been trying to find info on the Coral Spawn in Belize, using the moon charts it looks like it will occur around 8-9 Sept. Does anyone on the SB have differing information? I have been in Curacao for this event and it is a great night diving adventure.

Hmmmm..... August?

Last year it was the week after the August Full Moon. I remember diving diving off the East side of Turneffe and the water column was full of what appeared to be suspended chunks of mucus. On closer inspection we noticed the hard corals, mainly brain and star spawning. This was late in the afternoon. I have not been diving recently but have not received any reports of any spawning yet. To be honest I have been so busy recently I have not even checked with any of the other dive centers on this year's dates. Got some calls to make now.

HP, I am attaching a chart that shows the coral spawning based on types. It comes from STINAPA in Bonaire. Enjoy, Carbomb

Cool,

Thanx 4 this info. Will definitely use it as reference material this month. The Full moon is almost here. I was out at Sergeant's Caye today, the water was murky but no sign of spawning yet.
