My wife and I just returned from a long weekend in Jupiter FL. I did two shark dives on Sat before the tropical storm roared in! I'm nineteen months post Covid from leaving the hospital and two and half years since my last dives. I know a lot of you have followed my Covid progress as it's been a long road back to being under the seas. I had a blast and felt so good diving again. Our first dive was a 50 min drift dive where we had six Silky's following us. The next dive was a 75' wreck dive where a couple of tiger sharks hung out that turned into another drift dive. The tigers didn't show! We did have a couple of Silky's, a few large nurse sharks and two Goliath Groupers. The groupers were super cool! The last dive was a 90/95' wreck dive that I backed out on. I set a goal of no more than 75' the first time out.
It felt great being under the water again, though I did struggle with my buoyancy here and there. It's something I've never had an issue with in the past, but something I need to focus on next time out.
Going back later this summer and then Belize in the fall.
