2012-08-04 - Breakers South, Florida West Palm Beach, United States

18.3m - 55 min - Dived with Daniel Covey from Divers Supply

Choppy 0 clouds started moving in for a storm tonight, so we lost our sunshine. Good drift, 3 different types of turtles, with hawksbill being brought on deck for monitoring. Met guy from University of Florida that monitors this endangered specie by filming them in their environment, then measuring, tagging and recording with photos before returning them to same spot he locates them. Very cool, and first time to see one this close. Connie also found a guys lost computer and seveal lobsters. Hawksbill was teenager - estimated to be 24-25 years of age and most likley his last year in West Palm before heading back to the Yucatan to start raising babies.
