Started off the day with good news from Mother Nature . . . 1-2 foot seas, light breeze, a bit of sunshine, 76 degree water and a mild current.  Who could ask for better conditions?!  Oooo Yea with 60-70 foot of visibility.   Well happy happy Friday and just in time for the holidays . . . Our last dive on Breakers Reef just before the jumps to Turtle Mound a Whale…

Who says that summer time is the only time to find beauty on our reefs?!  Beauty comes year round here in South Florida. Our reefs stay plenty active all year round.  The water temps may dip a bit but nothing a layer of neoprene can’t cure. So come along with us to experience our beautiful reefs. Thank you Dennis Whitestone and Jim Cocci for the photos. 🙂…

We like to think we have wonderful weather here in South Florida year round, 24-7, 365.  Don’t laugh, we’re not shoveling snow down here.  We have the humidity and rain, as we are in the tropics and we are use to it.  So rain or shine we are out on the water enjoying the best Mother Nature has to offer.  BUT there are days when it is to rough off shore…

Our dive comes to an end, we slowly ascend to the surface to our Safety Stop; one of many safety checks.  We hang at about 15-20 feet allowing for more nitrogen…

It’s a good feeling when friends and customers share with us their experiences on a dive trip.  Shared photos bring back those good feelings.  They also remind us of what we saw and also tell others what they may have missed.  Many of us just drift along our reefs catching glimpses of tropical fish , maybe a lobster tucked under a ledge or even a Hawksbill…

Mother Nature is being good to us right now, here in South Florida, before winter really sets in.  We expected crisp weather as we arrived at the boat this morning only to be surprised that the weather man got it wrong again.  The conditions today were awesome and the weekend is expected to be the same.  We had a warm 81 degree air temperature with a light breeze,…

Cruising the reefs here in Palm Beach Florida today brought a pleasant surprise, a little face to face with Mr. Loggerhead. Our two dives this afternoon also brought us squid, an octopus, lobster, a Hawksbill Turtle, a Loggerhead turtle and of course lots of tropicals.  Lovin’ the diving here in South Florida.  The best kept secret is out!  …
