The Boynton Dive Chronicles (new and improved)

[D2Diver]

The dive on Sunday 3/8 was great. Thank you Brian for organizing. The pics are from the 1st dive on the Castor. Current was swimable although a couple of times I had to hide to keep the camera steady (oh & you should have seen me clinging at the safety stop current was stronger there) The second dive covered 3 sites but I only remember Briny Breezes. We covered a lot of area that was vibrant with color & full of many types of fish. I always see more trumpets & all types of butterfly fish here more than almost anywhere else. Oh the lobsters were on Vacation to my eyes at least although Brian & Terri caught some

Hey great pics! Thanks for posting them!

Yesterday the blue water was still around, but the seas were a bit spicier at around 2-4'. Not too bad. The current was running south with moderate force for both dives. Water temps were in the high 72's. I got a decent video finally of a great big loggerhead. I'll try to figure out how to get it from me to you this morning, before the Spooky Friday the 13th trip.

Hey, great pics, thankls for posting them, and thanks for coming out with us!

Here's some stuff from today...
The pretty water left us on the second dive, but we stared out on the Capt. tony with 60 footish viz, 2-3' seas, a moderate north current and upper 72 degree water. The current built throughout the course of the trip however, and by the end of the second dive we were blasted with 40' viz and chilly 71 degree water. Hopefully it's fleeting.
I did take some pics today, and will try to put them up later on.
