Well, I’m finally healthy so today we decided to make our way out to the Delray Wreck. We were a group of four – me and Dave and our friends Jeff and Cara. Not much of the wreck was visible – there’s quite a lot of sand out there these days but we did manage to find the boiler. At first, we were a little nervous – there was a group of spear fishermen out there and with the visibility not so good, we didn’t want to risk becoming prey. But by the time we were ready to dive, the fishermen were gone and we had the wreck to ourselves.
We saw a fair amount of wildlife:

• a little eel
• some juvenile high hats

Last weekend, I had a great dive planned with some good friends including one that I hadn’t seen for a long time but all that was dashed by a cruel virus that I am still recovering from. It can be very tempting to go diving in spite of feeling bad but as a recent article in Alert Diver magazine pointed out, this can not only endanger your health but could also potentially put others in danger – people who may feel compelled to put themselves in danger to help you.

Dave went out with the group and, despite a few problems with some newer divers, they had a great time and everyone got back safe.

Not a Great Day for Diving in Boca Raton

Okay, I guess it’s not always a good day to dive in South Florida. Some days are good for inspecting your equipment.
