Visiting the Sheridan

[Getnsquirrelee]

Hey ya'll. Was wondering if anyone had been to the Sheridan or surrounding reefs lately and if so how was the visibility and sea life? Thinking of taking the boat somewhere that direction next week. Thanks for everything.

Hi, I just got back from the Sheridan today. Visibility was maybe 15 to 20 feet. The reef was pretty cool. Plenty of fish and even an extremely large goliath grouper. There were hoardes of small jellyfish though. I would definitely wear a full wetsuit. I have a couple tentacle marks on my hands but surprisingly I didn't even know they happened. I was a bit apprehensive when I first found out that we had to swim through jellyfish. All I could think of was the scene in "Finding Nemo" when they were swimming through the jellyfish, lol!

Thanks for the update. We are going to go Thursday. We'll dive that and then come in to the veterans reef. We'be been doing a lot of east coast stuff lately and was worried about visibility. But 15-20 isn't bad. Did u see any fish worth bringing home?

There were several groupers of descent size but I don't know what the size limit is for harvesting. There was a very large goliath grouper in the ship, very, very large, lol! There were other types of large fish but I'm not all that familiar with salt water species.

And I forgot to ask. Is there still a mooring bout to tie boat to?

I don't believe there was. The captain just dropped anchor. There was a buoy out there but I don't know if you could tie a boat to it.
