GOLIATH GROUPER AGGREGATION DIVES
2 Deep Drift Dives (60-100 ft) to see Goliath Grouper Aggregation. These are advanced dives as seas can be rough, the current can be strong, you must be able to descend quickly & follow the guide carrying the diver down flag. Nitrox is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for both dives as is DIVING WITH A COMPUTER
Fish sighted on the dives: Goliath Grouper (last year we saw 80+ Goliath), jacks (horse eye, yellow, bar, blue runners, rainbow runners, scads); yellowtail reeffish, sunshine fish, purple reeffish, mahogany snapper, gold face toby...
