January – March Shark Season
Seeing a shark is often the highlight of any dive and during January through March. Lemon sharks visit Jupiter! About the time they leave, they’re replaced by migrating aggregations of black tip reef sharks that stay through March. It’s a great way to start your new year!
March – September The beaches along Jupiter, Florida host one of the densest sea turtle nesting populations in the nation. That means chances are good that divers will encounter sea turtles whenever they dive, but from March through September, the likelihood of seeing one or more of these fabulous marine creatures skyrockets!
Sport Season July Open Season August – March Lobsters are here year-round, but for divers, lobsters definitely have a season…or in this case two of them. Sport season (locally known as mini-season) is always the last Wednesday and Thursday in July. All you need is a fishing license and lobster tag!
August – September Ready for something truly spectacular?
Goliath groupers aggregate to spawn from August through September. Divers can see upwards of 60 of these gentle giants on our local wrecks!
