First time out this fall. Wind was higher that projected so we had to make our way out slowly to the reef where we encountered some large swells and chop. It was a little hard entering and existing the water, but it was worth it as the visibility was super. We were the only boat at the reef for our first dive and then a commercial boat arrived for the 2nd dive. Water temp was a comfortable 80 degrees . We did 2 50 minute dives. We encountered a shark, eel, and lots of fish. But I still have not seen a Stingray since the Hurricane last fall. The reef in this SW part of Molasses has seen some decent coral recovery as evidenced in the photos and video below.
