In West Palm Beach, you couldn't have asked for a better weekend of diving. We were aboard the Shearwater for a change, which is the Deep Obsession's big sister. A large vessel which normally does week long trips to the Bahamas. Conditions were good all weekend, minimal seas, mild currents, warm water temps and good vis.
Valerie took the macro lens and I shot WA all weekend (though I had to sit out on the 4th as work unfortunately got in the way).
Turtles are still everywhere, the usual suspects of Loggerhead, Hawksbills, and Greens. Turtle Mound really earns its name during the sea turtle mating months. Valerie provided some great modeling and scope to quite a few shots of the local sea turtles.
Dive sites ranged far north and south of the inlet and included: Corridor, Midreed, Pauls, Ron's, Flower Garden, Breaker's, Juno Ledge, and Bath and Tennis.
