What can I say? The cast and crew of JDC are always professional, knowledgeable and courteous! This past Sunday was no exception

Two dives for the morning:
Bonnie's Reef and The Tunnels - Both known to be over the top with sea life!

We hit the water on a beautiful calm day and I realized my strobe sync cord was not fully into my hotshoe on the camera. Bonnie's Reef is shot without strobe and The Tunnels is shot with strobe.

If nothing else, it is a great comparison for those who are thinking of adding a strobe to their camera

Bonnie's Reef:

Back on board the Republic VII for SI and trip to the Tunnels
 
Destination: The Tunnels

This spot is known for having large cuts that divers can swim through. The "tunnels" are actually the undercut of the ledges where large animals are known to sleep... You be the judge

If you ever get the chance to dive Jupiter, Fl. don't let that chance pass you by. If you ever get the chance to dive with JDC, don't let that chance pass you by.

You'll be glad you made the dives and you'll want to come back more and more often :)
