September 7th, 2013 – Goliath Grouper Dive in Boynton Beach
The second dive on the wreck of the Castor with Underwater Explorers on September 7th, 2013 was Epic.
One of the largest feeding frenzy’s I have ever witnessed, the jacks moved in on the bait balls surrounding the Goliath Groupers and it erupted.
Large school of Crevalle Jack showed up, large Bull Shark was cruising and a 10 foot Tiger Shark joined the party. I watched one Goliath gulping the bait fish.
Going back today for a double dip of more excitement!
