My recommendation is that you dive every day for a week and then if you still want to switch to one a week, fine. But my understanding is that you want improvement, so that's why I'm recommending the back to back dives.

Would be nice just have to work.
hoping to be able to get more dives in over the summer starting with tomorrow. I have another kid starting ow classes on Monday. Will tag along on his Ocean dive. 3-4 divers per trip makes those boat fees add up. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I was on little deeper today the 14th. Was fun. Was told viz was about 80 feet. I can't tell beyond top to bottom and it was 60 feet deep so I will say 60 feet.
Little choppy and bouncing for me but I am a newb and still learning to deal with boats but I did not get sick over the side though some did.
It was my first post cert dive and my daughter and I went out on our own and it all went well. 60 plus feet of viz and can't see anyone else is something new. Current was strong on the 2nd dive had trouble staying on the reef.
Still only getting ~40 minutes on a 100cf tank on a 60 foot dive. Just keep diving I guess.

Able to dive with Underwater Explorers in Boynton Saturday before the rains came. Great viz and calm waters. Even had the sun out for most of the 2nd dive. Did sites 007 and Black Condo. According to Dive master on the boat this was the best day they've had this summer re: viz. We just beat the storm back to the dock and then had hard rain the rest of the day.
Today, did three tank dive with Jupiter Dive Center. This was the only boat they sent out today as they has cancelations because of the weather. Was a good day though, with no rain and 2-3 ft seas. Visited Area 51, Capt Mike's, and Tunnels. Three great dives, with the exception of a strong western current that had us swimming hard to the east to stay over the reef. Lost track of how many reef sharks we saw. XL turtles and goliath grouper at Tunnels. Visibility at all 3 sites probably 75 ft+.
