Today was my last dive day for this trip. I did 2 dives with Starfish out of Boynton. Capt Chris, Madi, and Ren were on the boat, only 5 divers.

It was a beautiful sunny day, seas were 1-2 feet. For both dives, there was a very mild south current. Water temperature was the highest of the week 80-81 degrees. Visibility was good, +/- 50 feet.

The first dive was on the Castor. The ball was attached to the bow. There were 6-8 big Barracuda hanging out on the bow. Back at the stern, there were only a couple of Goliath Grouper. With the minimal current, they may have been hanging out off the wreck. There was a gorgeous large school of Crevalle Jack that circled me for several minutes, silver glinting in the sun. There was also a large school of Bermuda Chub.

The second dive was a very relaxing drift from Black Condo through Gulfstream. The dive was packed by all of the usual reef fish.

This was a very nice visit, I got in 11 dives in the 5 dives I had available to me. As usual, I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Finally! Looking forward to my return to diving the end of next month and being able to wear a 3mm!
