Went diving on Sunday morning with some good friends from all about Florida and even one was visiting us from California. We went out with Sunstar Aquatics' Diversity. A 30 ft. Island Hopper thats clean and efficient. With all the rain we had this weekend in Florida, we lucked out and had clear skies and flat seas.
The first dive was on Fink's Grouper Hole. In the first few minutes of the dive, we encountered a large turtle with a head the size of a bowling ball. It was lying in a crevice in the reef.
Unfortunately, we didn't see it till we were practically on top of it.
The turtle didn't care for our presence in the area. It turned and just swam into the void.
Halfway into the dive we encounted a gargantuan stingray with a wingspan of over 6 ft. It was one of, if not, thee biggest stingray I've ever seen.
In the final few minutes of the dive, we were treated to an encounter with a 5 ft. reef shark. The shark just looked at us for about a half minute before swimming off, not to be seen again.
As reef dives go, this one was one I'll always remember.
Just five days earlier, I was on a call-out, diving in a sewer searching for human remains. The Deerfield Beach dive was much nicer. =:^)
