Managed to get out last Sat and Sun and again this morning with Red Hook Dive Center, St. Thomas. 6 great dives - Calf and Castle Reef, Congo and Mingo, and French Cap and Calf this morning. Red Hook is in the East End, sites are 10 - 20 min ride, clean safe fun group. Water temps 84.
Highlites - sleeping nurse shark, carib reef shark, numerous barracuda, pipefish, jacks, little gumball juvi trunkfish, lobstaa (lots under the ledges), turtles, 2 queen trigger (1 each dive today), spotted drum, slender file fish and normal reef fish.
All dives right around 40 - 60 feet. French Cap is the exception - a pinnacle a bit further out, maybe 100 to the bottom, we started around 75 -80 feet and circled around and back. Had some CORE divers on board hunting Lionfish, 1 small LF dispatched and left on reef. When we came back on it, I found a good size Queen triggerfish tearing it apart for breakfast.
