May update for Caribbean Explorer I and Caribbean Explorer II

Tons of frogfish and seahorses have been spotted off of Caribbean Explorer II recently. 

 

The weather in May from St. Maarten to St. Kitts has been relatively good.  The average air temperature is about 80F and the average water temperature has been between 79F and 80F. 

 

As spring and summer approach, the weather in the southern Bahamas is calmer and Caribbean Explorer I has been able to get out to San Salvador on a more regular basis.  The average water temperature is about 77. 

 

However, the warmer water and better weather mean that they are seeing fewer hammerhead sharks – you can decide whether you think that is a good thing or a bad!  Other sightings from Caribbean Explorer I include frogfish, Nassau grouper, yellowtail snapper, turtles, midnight parrotfish, Caribbean reef sharks, southern stingrays, goatfish and grunts.
