Just returned from south Fla. and I have to say WOW what a trip!
Water temp. was 76 78 degees,vis was 80 ft seas were glass,not to mention the clear sunny high 80's on the surface.
Fri. after noon dove with Dixie divers out of Deerfield great outfit,first dive we dropped onto the wreck of the Capt. Dan tons of wildlife, then finished the day on a most exlent drift dive.
Sat. morning drove to Key Largo to dive the Spiegel Grove with Horizon Divers [another great outfit] It was my first time on the Spiegel Grove and it was ausome,
vis. forever,very light current about mid-ship and made a short penetration in the super structure found the radar room and saw a few other compartments before sadly enough ,it was time to surface. Then it was on to the Bentwood {another great dive}to finish the a.m. trip.
Sat. night,first open ocean night dive and what a blast! Fell right in love with it,saw stigrays,lobster and tons of other fish,had a little problem when I almost had a out of control accent feet first got corrected everything was fine,but it did scare the hell out of me !
Sun. a.m. dove the aqua zoo ,large and very friendly stingray tons of fun to pet! Saw a goliath grouper must have been 550-600 lbs, swam by me at arms length! And I won't forget the Moray eel that swam by my head less than a foot away!
What a trip, it's why I started diving in the first place! And I thought I was hooked before this!
