MOLASSES REEF AM

This morning at WINCH HOLE SITE @ MOLASSES REEF First Week of Moon Jellyfish Season here in Key Largo. Scuba diving around these jellyfish not too hard yet here in Key Largo.

DEEP EAST MOLASSES DRIFT AM

The second site at DEEP EAST LEDGE MOLASSES DRIFT DIVE Moderate current at first dive turned to strong current, so we opted to Drift Dive the second site. Huge Caribbean Reef Sharks & Snook were seen by the dives. As this is the First Week of Moon Jellyfish Season for Scuba diving here in Key Largo, everyone was careful at the surface. Moon Jellyfish are beautiful to see, but not to have slap you in the face, LOL!


BENWOOD SHIPWRECK PM

This afternoon at SHIPWRECK OF THE BENWOOD 1942 Natural navigation shipwreck of the Benwood is so very fish filled, it is always a pleasure to visit. We also love what Hurricane IRMA did for this site, by uncovering the huge anchor by the bow. There is also so much more unearthed to view since IRMA visited, we see something new with each dive!

FRENCH REEF PM
