Comments Our dive club does an annual dive with Conch Republic in September. The water is very warm and comfortable by then.We go out on the spacious 46 Newton with Capt. Mark and Jasen.Both have been with Conch Republic for years, and are both knowledgeable and helpful. A thorough safety briefing is given before we start out, and upon arriving at the site, Jasen describes the site as if he is looking at it.The days we went out there were 1-2 feet waves,some current,and around 50 ft.viz. You can expect to see turtles, sting rays,green morays, angels, and all the rest of the usual suspects. Some sites are covered with grunts
young schoolmastets, and snappers. On one dive we had nurse sharks, at least 5, weaving in and out our whole dive. Due to shoulder surgery I take my tank off in the water and they are very helpful. Topside there is fresh water and snacks between dives.We look forward to diving with them again in the near future.
