Scuba Forum / General / March 2008Islamorada Dives
Going to Bahia Honda in May with friends. Plan to dive Loo Key one day. Want to do something up on largo one day and something around Islamorada one day. Any recommendations for Islamorada? >Going to Bahia Honda in May with friends. Plan to dive Loo Key one day.

Although I've never dove it, I've heard the Eagle is a nice dive site but you can get some nasty current there on occasion. >>Going to Bahia Honda in May with friends.

True on any of the deeper wrecks. It's a price you pay for diving close to the Gulf Stream. Lee > >Going to Bahia Honda in May with friends. Plan to dive Loo Key one day.

The Eagle is cool dive. I also love the Duane - I've maybe only a few dozen dives on either as we don't get to the Keys all that often. Honestly, some of the small shallow reefs are cool too, especially if you're into critters. I can poke around ome of those reefs for days and not be bored. Seems we always see the most sharks on the shallow reefs and more turtles on the shallow walls while drifting - is this usual, Lee? * > The SG, of course. The Eagle is cool dive.

It seems to be pretty normal. All the turtles, and most of the sharks, I've seen while diving have been on shallow reefs. It's hard to tell, though, whether it's because that's where most of them are or because when I'm diving deeper, I'm usually focused on something else, a wreck, for example. The only thing I can say with conviction is that the surest way I know of to see sharks, is to be away from my buddy while spearfishing. Lee >> >Going to Bahia Honda in May with friends.

Turtles are of course air breathing but they don't, I remember reading somewhere, have the physiological adaptations that some water habituating mammals do to dive deep for long periods. IMHO opinion you see more sharks on shallow reefs is that the food density in general is higher so it allows for more top level predators thus you have a better chance of seeing them |
