Trip Report Davis reef Islamorada 9-10-21

[deeper thoughts]

9/23/21 Current on a few of the spots we tried.
Ended up at Davis reef which is usually pretty dependable and consistent
bit of a current 30 feet green water, plenty of backscatter, water temp now at 84
nice calm seas
reef is really getting thick with schools of fish

The most famous "Budda" in the Keys that everyone knows.
Great shots and glad topside was nice for you.

I enjoy your posts and pictures! I don't like to see the temperature drop two degrees in two weeks. I reminds me that even in our great state, the "true summer" and warm water does eventually come to an end.

Definitely, this year I saw almost no bleaching on the coral
That being said stoney coral disease did put a hurting on them the last few years
