I flew down yesterday. My morning flight on American Airlines, Philadelphia to Palm Beach, was delayed over 6 hours. Lucky I was informed before I left home and enjoyed the time with my wife. I can't remember the last time I arrived in Palm Beach in the dark. I had food for breakfast this morning and delayed my trip to Winn Dixie until today.
Saturday, October 21, Dive day 1
I went out today with Jupiter Dive Center for 2 dives this morning, Capt. Brad, guide Barry, mate Tony. Most of the boat was reserved for a dive club from Tampa, the afternoon boat was fully booked weeks ago.
Today was a beautiful, sunny day. Started off in the 70s and ended in the 80s. Seas were 1-2 feet, current was mild north, water temp was 83 degrees.
The first dive was at Area 51 and it was a good one. Visibility was about 50 ft. We had a Goliath Grouper swim with us for the entire dive. I had several eye to eye contacts at no more than an arms length. There were several small reef sharks and all the usual reef fish.
The second dive was at Capt Kirle's. Visibility was down to about 30 ft. We had another Goliath Grouper, a large nurse shark and all the usual reef fish.
A good day in Jupiter, I'm doing 4 dives there tomorrow.
I forgot to say, today was a small milestone for me, dive #2300, 2297 hours. 244 of my dives have been in Jupiter
