Comments Went to dive when the Goliath groupers were spawning. Conditions and viz were terrible due to recent heavy rains and the state draining the water overflows into the inlet to the ocean. Still loved seeing these gentle giants, but had been dreaming of better viz. Dive shop was extremely friendly and very helpful. Not their fault of the conditions but they were very sympathetic to divers expectations. Very professional staff and knowledgeable guides. All levels of divers onboard and everyone seemed content. Looking forward to returning another time to go with Jupiter.
