Harry is right, I should have said start at 2nd reef.
No, you were right. To be exact, Boca reefs start in 25-30ft

It seems everyone has different perception of what qualifies as the 1st 2nd and 3rd are. what i've considered first reef in hollywood/ft lauderdale was like harry said 15 ft.,, but the shallowest reef i've seen in boca was at least 25 feet., and the next after that is at least 50,, on the outside 90 feet (where the buoy off palmetto is)
They have reefs right off the beach. Its shallow. I guess im thinking just south of Boca. Lighthouse point.

Well Boca is not much of a "fish spot" so to say more like an aquarium dive, it is pretty with lot's of small fish and the occasional mackerel or Hog, but, not like Jupiter. The best is simply start at 1st reef which is around 40 to 60ft depending on the area and just drift north or south on it depending on the current, that is about the most of it in the shallow area, be safe.
1st reef is 15ft
2nd reef is like 35-45ft
3rd reef is around 65ft
I would just drift down the 2nd reef. You can get lucky sometimes and catch a lot of fish.

Nice mutton. I can tell its big.
Wolf is so happy getting his first permit. Look at that smile..hahaha

Camera is mounted on my head.
Oto,
Where is that big mutton you got yesterday?
Thanks for the compliments. I try to make videos better and more enjoyable each time.

I bet Dan will get a boner reading that <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">
Good Job Dan. Love the suit and the fins

Most of my dive times are around 1:30-1:45 comfortably. I do not need to stay down there longer than that because there is no real advantage. I'm a spearo, not a freediver. I prefer not stress myself so I stay in between those dive times. I rather have more dives at the end of the day than a bunch of very long ones with longer breathups.

thanks for posting. Nice video and huge Permit. Always fun to see spearfishing videos at work!! One thing to watch out for when you make videos. Make sure the songs you pick are allowed or they will mute your video. Anything by Bob Marley or RHCP is not allowed. Just giving you a heads up to save some time.

Awesome video, and better skills. I wish I could sit behind a rock at that depth and debate whether I wanted to shoot the grouper or alpha hogfish.
Good eye on the hogfish. It was only 95ft
In the clear water, the video is so much better in full screen. You can see so much more. I look forward to do more videos in deep clear water. They are more enjoyable for me. -

Very nice, I see you like Moby on your videos too.
Moby is good. It is also hard to find music that youtube allows

Thanks Harry, which gun did you have for sale last year ?
Cheers, Don
Denton 110. This is the new model 120. It is as long as a 112 but has the stretch of a 120.

Great shots Harry ....nice fish, nice boat and Great Crew.
Cheers, Don
Do you still have that band gun ?
Thanks Don. Yeah my gf is great.
I use that band gun as my primary gun. I lost too many shafts with the pneumatic. I lose less shafts when i use 7.5mm SA steel on the bandgun.

sure. Its a 2 day trip and it will be during the week. Im not sure when im going though.

I have a few spots over there and we just keep working them (diving only) all the way to Tortugas. I usually find a couple new spots every time i go. Most of my spots are shallow 65ft and less. I want to find some deep spots but it takes time to scout.
-
Bet that was an awesome trip Harry.
a lot of reloading <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">
I'm gonna do it again.

I took my boat to the tortugas. We fish all the way out there, camped up on the island, and then fish all the way back. I burned 100 gallons for 2 days worth of diving in 22' cat.
