4th of July weekend in the keys(small slideshow)

[deeper thoughts]

Excellent conditions this weekend. Visibility at Davis and Molasses was 75 feet or better(blue water). Seas around 2 feet or less. No current on Davis but a smoking current on Molasses.
Oh by the way NO OIL!!

It looks like the lionfish war has been lost.

I saw two while diving with Jupiter Dive Ctr this weekend: I've killed a small one with a dive knife in WPB, but these were big ones and no one had a pike or spear so they were not killed..... too bad

Be there in 24 hrs. Can barely control myself.

Nice shots. I was on Mo Friday (after a week of diving in rough seas) and the conditions were as good as I have seen.

Yep to the lionfish - I saw one on French last Tues/Weds and 2 more were spotted by other divers the next day

Cool - glad you had nice conditions down there.
