Sorry about that; I was actually agreeing with your line of thinking there and the mockery of the standard complaints against goliaths. This is what happens when you try to get involved in discussions after chaining together a short week of work, an apartment move, a full seven days of fieldwork, and then another day of prep for the next round. If I still got it wrong,
mea culpa.
As far as the "dominion over all animals bit" - I'm going to try and avoid that third rail, but I figure if God wanted me to have dominion over groupers and sharks as a hunter I would not have been designed as a thin-skinned, small-jawed, blunt-toothed, finless, air-breathing biped with poor underwater senses. I don't have anything against spearing or hunting in and of themselves; I just see it as we have to enter their domain using a whole lot of clumsy gear that's somewhat effective for only a short period of time. That makes me the interloper who ought to be thankful for what he can get from the ocean using his equipment and skills - not the one who owns the place and everything in it. I don't have an absolute moral objection to the idea of spearing goliaths and sharks; I just would rather the reason be something more than "they get in my way."
Back on the topic, I agree that late August through the end of September they'll be a-hoppin' in Palm Beach County. Most of the wreck sites like the Castor, Mizpah Corridor, Governor's Riverwalk, and the Jupiter Wreck Trek will be packed and so will the Hole in the Wall on the Jupiter Deep Ledge. Dive operators will probably be up to your personal preference; the last two years I've used
Narcosis out of Riviera Beach but most ops in the area will be doing goliath spawning dives at that time.
