Palm Beach Night Dive Report: 5-2-09

[Shcubasteve]

Hello all,

Ill start by saying night dives are my favorite type of diving. Saturday night we hit Breakers and Flower Garden to find crystal clear water, a refreshing north current and 78 degrees; SOO much better then 65 degrees. Nice long relaxing dives with no speargun, made it all the way through turtle mound. Saw plenty of lobster, including a Shovel nose! Lunch the next day. Plenty of turtles, a few reef squid, assorted tropicals. My brother brought a net in an attempt to capture sleeping hogfish, but the only one we saw (big alpha male) eluded us. Great set of dives overall! Cant wait to do it again next weekend. Anyone wanna go?

Shcubasteve,

I was on that trip with you. I was trying to get one together the month before but weather ended that. I was on the boat with my wife. I was the one that was carrying around that big old white tarp that someone let go down there. So, you were the one swimming with the other guy carrying the net?

How often do you dive with them at JASA? They are my favorite boat, really nice people. My wife and I get down there about once a month if not doing some other part of the ocean that month.
