Here are a few helpful hints from a local outdoor adventure guru. Scuba divers can see sea turtles, sharks, reef fish and wrecks off Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie counties. The diving is typically 50 to 80 feet, and the current can be strong, but the dive sites are so close to shore that the boat ride is generally a mile or less. Several dive boats run from inlets near Stuart, Jupiter, Riviera Beach, Boynton Beach and Boca Raton. Call ahead to check underwater visibility and current before heading out.
Divers can try hunting for lobster just after a heavy storm.
For those with a saltwater fishing license and a crawfish permit, the lobster season is open until March 31. Please read it.
