Went with ForceE on a shark dive using the boat Narcosis. This was one of the last lemon shark dives of the season. Had a great dive with 50' vis and 11 lemon sharks encountered! Very beautiful and exciting trip.
As a bonus, 17 Goliath groupers were also on the site. This was as much fun as the sharks. They were just stacked up with 80-300+ pounders in the group. They were surrounded by a school of small amberjacks and a large cloud of baitfish. Great feeding frenzy action by the jacks on the minnows, with the groupers then striking at the jacks.
Also lots of tropicals and a small moray. A GREAT dive.
Water temp on the bottom (64 feet) was a nice and toasty 62 (yes, 62) degrees, but no one complained. Glad I bought a hood the night before!
Second dive was on a reef, with a school of hundreds of spadefish that enveloped us, and a big school of bar jacks as well. As a bonus, three blacktips and a larger grey reef shark swam through.
All and all, just a fantastic winter dive!
