After an hour boat ride back North we got to the site. We took a 90 minute SI before jumping back into the water. The visibility was not as good around 50ft. We got down and hit the ledge. We would blow by groups of 5 and 10 Goliath grouper in the 200-400lb range. David's scooter didn't hold out for the second drop so he put it into tow position and Ron help keep him on the reef. After 15 minutes of drifting we hit the hole in the wall with about 30 Goliath around. The hole was packed with them as well.
I seconded guess penetraing in, but decided it was worth to move in slowly and the VW bug sized fish would move out of my way. If you close at the picture you can see just how many fish were there in just on shot.
After the Hole we hit one more group and then it was just the local fish. There were large Horse Eye Jacks that were pitch black and ready to mate. Small Juvenile fish close to the reef.
Everyone made it back to the boat and we headed back to the dock. I figured my arms were sore from loading the boat. I was wasted by the time we got all the gear back off. The marina is under construction and loading and unloading is not easy at this point. Once finished it will be a great location.
