Not surprised - Narcosis had to cancel this Friday’s dive due to weather.

Like a thresher shark - ain’t the teeth that’ll get ya, it’s the tail.

I just flew down from Philadelphia today. It was a pretty smooth flight, very glad I made it, I was not optimistic.

Walker's cancelled for tomorrow also. Neither Walker's nor Narcosis are on the timid side, they've been my go to operators out of Riviera Beach for many years.

Vis is gonna be 0 for a day or few, even if the winds die down right away.

Vis is gonna be 50 for a day or few, even if the winds die down right away.

Slight edit…trying to stay positive for the 3.5hr drive over from Tampa for Saturday and Sunday’s dives .

I'm hoping you're right and Jenny is wrong!

What??? Me wrong?

Yep. Park closed. Dang. I hope I don't have to resort to housework.. yikes!!!

Boat access was also a no-go in that area. I was out near there at 8:00 this morning for a safety check on someone & I would not go out again. Closing the park was a legitimate decision.

I just flew down from Philadelphia today. It was a pretty smooth flight,

60mph head winds on your runway,,,, and they probably only needed a couple of feet to touch down.

I hope the strong east winds can push in blue water to get some viz cause the gulf stream is gonna be tough. Good news is they have not opened Lk Okee outflow at all.

If anyone hears about test dive reports, good or bad.....Post them up !!

I hope so, I'd like to go diving this weekend. The forecast looks good.

Same.. actually thinking the bridge tomorrow.. with fingers crossed... if the storm lifts up and away quickly. This forward motion should help.

If I had time I'd go tomorrow, despite the probability of impaired visibility. Sometimes storms like this stir up creatures from the deep & put them into places where they are not normally found. You never know what you might see immediately after a storm. It's one of those roll-the-dice opportunities that comes along every now & then.
