Comments Jupiter Dive Center has very well trained and helpful staff in all areas. They were very clear on their requirements ( smb and computer) for the drift diving that is done in the waters just north of West Palm Beach. The boat and dive briefings were concise but thorough. Snacks and cold sodas and water were complimentary. There was a skilled divemaster in the water with 2 rules 1) no deco 2) after 45 minutes or 800 psi whichever comes first you start to ascend. You do not have to stay with the group but if not deploy your own smb. This is turtle season and we saw plenty. Later in the summer there is a Goliath Grouper aggregation is outstanding. The diving in this area is frequently overlooked. The reefs are not magnificent but they are good. The Gulfstream provides mostly reasonable current as well as warm good vis water. Fish are more plentiful than many Caribbean destinations. We were treated to very good diving and great service. A day well spent.
