January 31, 2015 - Lemon Drop
Lemon - 15
Tiger - 1
Bull - 1 (That's right, Bull Shark at Lemon Drop)
Nurse - 2

The water felt like it was in the low 70s, 4ft seas, 80+ vis, slight north current.
I can't believe this but my lens got switched to manual as it went into the housing and all of my pics today were completely out of focus. This tiger shot is almost passable at small sizes as he was a little farther away than the other sharks.

Diving conditions today were legendary. We did not dive our regular spot and stayed near the Palm beach inlet since we did not chummed the waters. We still had 4 Bulls, 2 nurse and 2 lemons in one dive. Sorry no pics!

Life is to short mind your own business!

Thinking about a shark dive this weekend. Any update?

The bulls are out in force right now; last weekend Narcosis ran into an estimated 50 bull sharks on the Princess Anne and another one of their spots. The deep ledge off Jupiter is full of them as well; I was out there yesterday on the Emerald and we stopped trying to count them (admittedly poor viz made it difficult). Nevertheless I got one photo that had five bulls all in the frame.



Not great viz, but a good rodeo.

I haven't been out for the last two weekends so hopefully this one is better. Narcosis said they went out into deep water and had 5 Silky Sharks the other day.
