This Port St Lucie section is the closest to were we dove today so I placed it here. My friends from Qatar came in for the expo and wanted to dive so we called up Chad Palin to see if he wanted to dive and of course he said yes so we headed North early in the morning. We hit several wrecks and several really nice reefs and ledges for a full day of spearing. The vis was top to bottom in the morning and then became less as the day wore on, but still good enough. The depths all day started at 65ft and went up to 96ft as we got deeper, one of the highlights was spotting and then being surrounded by a HUGE pod of around 200 or more spotted dolphins...very rare around here and we swam for over 25 minutes with them and were able to rub there bellies.
Everywere we looked were dolphins swimming with us in clear blue 85ft of water, baby dolphins were everywere with there mothers and it was incredible. We were welcomed to some of the deeper wrecks by huge bullsharks that made themselves known , but caused no problems for us so we continued to hunt. Lot's of big Goliath groupers on the wrecks as well and saw runners, permit, muttons which all were skittish and could not get shots on although I tried for the permit (chad is a commercial spearo and has permits). All on all we got 1 big runner, a grouper and both Khalid and I shot decent size amberjacks.
