Went diving with JDC on Saturday Morning. The seas were very calm, and it was a beautiful day on the water.
The first dive we did a site called, "Captain Mike's Reef" - We spent most of the dive at 75 feet, and the reef was fantastic. The current for that dive was surprisingly mild for Jupiter, and we actually had to swim a bit. We swam northward, and followed the ledges along. It was a very nice dive. I had a temperature of 82 degrees on the bottom. Visibility was probably in the 60-80 foot range.
Dive #2 we did a spot called "The Tunnels" - the current wasn't very cooperative, but we made it to the tunnels anyway, and after a little while, it was just me and my dive buddy, and Dive Master Chris. My buddy wanted to see a "real shark" whilst in Jupiter, and upon arriving at the Tunnels, we heard Chris bang on his tank, and saw this guy
(not the best shot - but the shark never got CLOSE enough for my wide angle lens)
We enjoyed swimming around the Tunnels. Saw a large Loggerhead, a Southern Stingray, a few large Morays, and a plethora of smaller tropicals.
This dive was somewhat warmer, with a temp of 84-85 degrees
All in all... JDC delivered a great time. The crew was extremely helpful, and accommodating. They were also good with my camera, which is important to me.
Thanks Jupiter Dive Center for a great day!

We had a good time! Of course, all the pelagic life didn't suck either!
