in the Jupiter area lately. I have been diving these reefs for years and I'm seeing more sharks on more dive site. That's encouraging!!

Looking forward to the Friday the 8th. Dives were as reported to add several HUGE lionfish on the deep ledge and a Large Green moray free swimming on dive 2.

even seeing a lot more sharks on the shallow reefs in the 15-20 foot depth here on the Treasure Coast. seeing 6-10 nurse sharks on a dive, 2-4 bull sharks and even the odd tiger and hammerhead.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to make the 2 and a half hour drive from Orlando to do some diving tomorrow. The weather looked like it would be great at the beginning of the week, but not so great now, although not bad either. Just a pain in the butt driving all that way (5.5 hours RT + $50 for gas + $65 for the boat trip) for less than ideal conditions.

All indications say that the weather is going to be great for diving tomorrow! If I was able to go diving tomorrow, I would certainly do it!
