Comments	Florida's southern Treasure Coast is the best kept diving secret on the planet. We have been diving there every September since 2010 and have never been disappointed. There have been days when the surface has been rather "sporty" (4 to 6 footers) and the moon jellies have been rather thick, but the diving has never disappointed. The only drawback to diving then and there is the possibility of a hurricane which triggers Okeechobee's level to be drawn down pushing murky water out into the Atlantic. But, since most of the time the current is running north, it is a non-issue. On rare occasion the current runs south which makes for more challenging diving. The marine life is plentiful and the coral reefs are remarkably healthy. Our dive charter of choice is Walker's Dive Charters and The Wetter The Better. Capt. Bill always knows where to go given conditions and drops us in exactly the right spot. There are a number of crew members who are all very helpful, friendly, and great guides. Sometimes the boat is rather full and other times not. Regardless, the crew is very attentive to everyone on board. If you are diving for fun or if you are hunting, The Wetter The Better is the boat you want to be on. Regarding accommodations, we always stay at The Breakers. "Once you stay, you will understand."
