This is a two-tank boat dive open to NSU Scuba Club members who hold a PADI Advanced Open Water Certification (or agency equivalent) or higher. These dives will be conducted in Jupiter, Florida. The reef here is known for attracting megafauna such as turtles, goliath groupers, large aggregations of fish, and Lemon Sharks! The maximum depth of the dives varies between 75’ and 95’, thus making this dive available to AOW divers only. There will be an appropriate surface interval between the two dives depending on our profile.
We will be diving with Jupiter Scuba Diving on Kyalami Charters. Check-in for the dive is between 9 am and 9:15 am at the marina where the dive boat leaves from. It takes about 1.5 hours to reach the marina. For this reason, we will be departing from NSU NO LATER than 7:45 am.
REMIND: Kate will make a remind group chat with everyone who signs up if you have any questions and would like to text me. If you haven’t signed up for remind yet and want to join - text @nsuscuba to 81010.
