Jupiter dive report today: Ocean was lit up!! +

[Jwmaie2]

Diving looks amazing in Jupiter. I have to get down there. Is there a best time of year there or is it this great year round??

The sharks stayed interested too. Nice work.

Watch it in 1080p .... it makes a big difference.

At the 4:18 mark I could even hear a faint yell of "Sheet, I knew I forgot something on this dive" from Amazz in the scene !! That was so close and yet so far.

Great video and sweet viz !!

I'm no expert, but from my observations, the out going tide has some impact on the diving, but normally not much. Since the gulf stream is flowing northward, the inlet's out-going dirty water is usually swept northward with the current. The boats then dive south of the inlet where clean ocean water is present (the sites mentioned in this thread are south of the Jupier inlet). Occasionally when the gulf stream has wandered far off shore and there is not much near shore northward current, the ugly inlet water and run-off will impact the diving, especially the sites that are just barely south of the inlet. Sometimes super heavy rain storms have an impact on vis too. Cold water upwellings can also impact vis.

Tides have a huge impact on Blue Heron Bridge: its a slack tide dive. Even if you are not hardcore macro photographer, the dive still might be fun since you stand a good chance to see some things that you'll see less frequently in the ocean (eagle rays, yellow rays, star gazers, flying gurnards, batfish, manatees, etc.). I've only seen two flying gurnards and one batfish in the open ocean but these are fairly common at BHB.

Thanks. That is about what I was thinking. We love to hit Blue Heron each time we come to FL. Neat unusual stuff. A good balance to the offshore dives.

Hey Reebok...I'm amazed at the colors that come through on your video - especially at that depth. Are you shooting with a GoPro? Are you using a filter?

Nice videos guys. I went the day after you and got some similar footage from monkey's ledge. This weekend is looking like conditions should be stellar.
