BTW ask the shops about diving during the Golliath Grouper congregation which is going on now!

I would like to throw Hypnautical dive charters in the mix. Capt. John is great and will make sure you have a great time. He has a 6-pack catamaran. I personally don't like cattle boats so that's perfect for me. Give John a call and you won't be disappointed.
Water temps in that area do not vary all that much. 70-73 +/- 3 deg mostly for bottom temps.
I am heading down to Singer Island arriving Saturday Oct 8th and leaving Saturday Oct 15th. I would like to dive a few days while I am there. I have been reading numerous posts about the operators in WPB and Jupiter. Sounds like the best operators are Jupiter Dive Center in Jupiter and Jim Abernathy in WPB/Riviera. Will there be enough divers during the week in order for the charters to go out? I have been to SC in the fall and found that people tend to dive only on the weekends and the boats do not go out during the week. If this is the case, it looks like the only day of diving will be Sunday Oct. 9th. Any guidance is appreciated.
What are the conditions like in early October?
It's been a while since i lived there but there used to be a dive club in WPB that non-members could go out with. It was a lot of fun, the club members were always very nice, and you will meet locals who know lots about diving in the area. I'm sure you can find them on the internet as they had a web site.
