Aggregation is between July and October? When is the peak period?
How's about MG111?
I did 2 dives in Sept on the MG111 last year, and there wasn't as many as I'd seen in previous years. Unlucky I guessMG111 was a prime aggregation site last year, but that doesn't mean it will be this year. Some years they are on the Ana C (part of the Corridor Wreck Treck) in Palm Beach, sometimes they are on the Jupiter Wreck Treck. It's hard to know until they show up.
I saw plenty on the MG last fall. I think I dove it twice and saw a few dozen each time. I remember them being off to the east of the barge and on the east and west edges of warrior reef. Very few on the barge itself.I did 2 dives in Sept on the MG111 last year, and there wasn't as many as I'd seen in previous years. Unlucky I guess![]()
You’re right. The GG’s won’t aggregate unless there’s a current. They tend to spread out during slack currents and you may only see a few at a site. I dove the Castor in August last year - no current. Only saw a few GG’s. It was fun to swim the Castor stern to bow and back again though!There was a ton on the MG111 the September weekend where we had a ton of surge due to the hurricane out in the Atlantic.
But we had a lot of slack currents last year, and so far it appears if there isn't a current the Groupers scatter once the first diver hits the wreck.
