More Lemon Sharks in Jupiter today (with a few photos)

[sportxlh]

Wow: another great day in Jupiter with near perfect winter topside conditions. Less than 2 foot waves, sunny and beautiful blue water. Underneath, viz was 80-100 feet on Area 29 and a bit less on Bonny's reef with very little current. Temps at depth were 71-74 degrees but I was wearing a 7MM wetsuit and hood and stayed toasty. We saw at least 6 Lemons on Area 29 with three staying with us for about 20-25 minutes, just circling around. Also saw a number of loggerheads and green morays. On Bonny's, saw a couple goliath grouper, a Lemon shark, 4 nurse sharks (3 at the same time!), hawksbill turtles and 8 or 9 loggerheads.

You have my envy. My one Jupiter trip was in August 2014, and I didn't see a lemon shark OR a loggerhead sea turtle. I'm still hoping to see a loggerhead on a dive someday. Nice shorts; a particularly fine one of that green moray.

What charters do you recommend?
I have been out with narcosis and had a good time but the current was almost to strong where we went for the day.

Great photos!

I like Jupiter Dive Center. However, currents will shift day to day just like in West Palm Beach. I've been diving in Jupiter with a 2+ knot current one day and had it near dead calm the next.
