[deeper thoughts]

Dove Crocker twice this weekend before the mini season mess starts. Car traffic is backed up for miles already if you plan on coming down. Be careful on the water!!
viz was 30ish seas 1 foot or a lil better
water temp 84/85
no current
Such a fantastic reef with a great variety/plentiful amount of sea life

Nice photos, wish I was diving, Spotted and Goldentail Moray are particularly nice. I'll be in SE FL Aug 3

Yep traffic is already stupid crazy on the roads. Itll be that way on the water on Wed & Thur. Be careful out there!

The sanctuary dive spots are usually empty. Which is nice because we don't take fish/lobster

thanks for the my keys photo fix.... what type of remora is on the parrot-fish? or is it something else?

It is a remora but do not know the type. They do annoy these fish it seems though lol

Maybe not so much. This is a critically important time for dive boat operators and shops to have customers enjoy the mini season in lil bit bumpy weather conditions.
