@deeper thoughts and I have been corresponding via PM and he has steered me toward some good diving ops and away some bad times of year. I’d like to throw this open to a little wider discussion if he doesn’t mind a little thread drift too much. The great fish pix and clear vis he showed in this thread really have me hooked!

it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to get down from VA before about late November due to prior commitments and DT has warned me about the iffy conditions in Winter. What’s the earliest late Winter/early Spring time frame that would be most likely to present good diving? Is there a sweet spot between say, mid February and late April when I can be pretty sure to miss both late Winter roughness and early Hurricane Season? If I can hurriedly rearrange some stuff and throw something together for late October/early November, will conditions still likely to be good?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
🐸

I’m loving that Queen Angel and the closeups of the Green Moray and the sea turtle. Well done! I can only dream of shooting images like these, but my dreams are becoming more vivid every time you post. Thank you very much!
