Jupiter Inlet District · live feed

Five live camera angles of Jupiter Inlet — main shot, NE, E, SE, and S — plus a Jupiter-rooftop weather station (temperature, wind, gusts, pressure, rainfall) refreshed every 30 seconds. The station's wind sensor sits low so gusts often read about half the actual speed; treat it as a sanity check, not a forecast.

Where to dive Jupiter

Verified operators · No paid placement

Jupiter sits where the Gulf Stream runs closest to the U.S. coastline — giving 80°F+ water, drift dives, and big animal encounters within a 20-minute boat ride. Goliath grouper aggregations, bull shark dives, lemon shark seasons, and the Esso Bonaire wreck.

FAQ

Real answers to the questions divers actually ask about Jupiter.

What time of year is best for diving Jupiter, Florida?
Year-round. Summer (June–September) brings 84°F water and goliath grouper aggregation. Winter (December–February) brings lemon and bull shark season at sites like Jupiter Wreck Trek. Visibility averages 60–80 ft year-round thanks to the Gulf Stream.
Do I need to be an advanced diver to dive Jupiter?
Most sites run 50–90 ft and have strong current — Advanced Open Water or equivalent drift experience is recommended. Several operators run sites in the 40–60 ft range for newer Open Water divers.
What is the Gulf Stream and why does it matter?
The Gulf Stream is a warm Atlantic current that flows closest to shore here in Jupiter (about 3–5 miles offshore). It brings warm, clear water and concentrates marine life along the reef edge — which is why Jupiter has some of the best diving on the U.S. East Coast.
