Their pectorals point downward, making them look aggressive when they are not. They can be rather pesty and love to sneak up on you when you aren't looking their way. They are a very attractive shark, one of my favorites.

Exactly. Got real close, particularly when there were the 3, bumped one diver's fins from below, he was surprised

I'll be down on business this week and was hoping to dive this weekend before flying out on Monday. IF the storm hits the east coast strong enough to cancel the diving, is there anywhere on the west coast of Florida within a 2-3 hour drive that might be worth trying. In all likelihood, if the storm hits, I'll just find something else to do, but I'm just curious. Coworker's flying home on Friday, but I extended the trip just to dive.

Current forecast for West Palm Area. I am planning to go out on Sunday.

I'm diving out of Jupiter tomorrow. Looks like it will be ideal in the AM. Hopefully VIS is good as well.

Richard Rydell, he's a private instructor, great guy. Thanks for the luck, I might need it, the weather is still looking menacing.

The boat I am diving off of on Sunday in West Palm just posted a pic of conditions today. Calm seas and 60' viz. Hoping to make my first post cert dive with my daughter...
