Hole In The Wall Molasses Reef AM

This morning at Hole In The Wall Molasses Reef This site is amazing, however the conditions this morning did not allow us to enjoy this dive. Way too big of seas, way too little of viz. Plus the smoking current caused our dive guides and divers way too much trouble.

Jules Undersea Lodge Lagoon AM

The second site at Jules Undersea Lodge Lagoon Jules undersea lodge lagoon might not be the biggest or best site to scuba dive in Key Largo, but we sure are thankful for them allowing us to dive there on days like today! Our guides took all our divers for an underwater scavenger hunt looking for macro critters to photograph.


We worked super hard today to try to provide all scuba diver guests the best possible time with the conditions Mother Nature handed us. Strong South South East winds caused us to have to cancel the second site on the reef. We came back and headed across the street to enjoying the tiny shipwreck and Underwater Hotel of Key Largo, Jules Undersea Lodge Lagoon in Key Largo, Florida Keys.

It got way too windy to stay out with DEEPER Dive boat. There were overturned boats sinking and USCG being hailed for rescue to many boats smaller than ours. We struggled with very strong current and five foot seas at first site Molasses Reef. Then our crew called the tour and made for safety of Land!
