How are the conditions now? Are the groupers gone? What other bid staffis available? Trying to see if I should drive up from pompona where we are staying or just dive there.

51 Spades (half of Area 51 and half of Spadefish) was our first drop. Lumpy seas but calm below the surface. Vis was great with a mild north current. 1mm suit was fine. Saw one lemon, two reef and one nurse shark.
Cpt Kirles was our second drop. It was a Jupiter cornucopia. We were guffawed, saying at the surface “What didn’t we see?” Three rays with the first being the largest ray I’ve ever seen. The DM (Erick) was equally impressed. One loggerhead and two hawksbill. Two GGs, one was relatively sedate with a necrotic right pectoral. Three sharks (although I think one was a lapper). One green moray.
Kyalami crew did great.

The aggregation is over. There are resident GG's all year round if you dive the right spots. You just won't see a mass aggregation on the wrecks. This year's aggregation was disappointing, likely due to low vis or ripping currents. I did 3 dive charter trips and never saw an aggregation.
