Guided Tour - Blue Heron Bridge -

[BHB ScubaTroll]

The Gulf is cold right now... Brrr!

Who wants to visit the "Venice Beach" of the east coast... Blue Heron Bridge?

VB offers sharks teeth and some interesting sea life. BHB offers some of Florida's most interesting sea life (and in many cases, some of the rarest Florida sea life around)

I am offering to take everyone on a guided tour of the bridge at the end of January!

Blue Heron Bridge is a shore dive within Phil Foster Park (900 E. Blue Heron Blvd.
Riviera Beach, FL 33404)

The best time to dive is during slack high tide (once per day while the park is open), or 45 min. before to one hour after high tide

The next "acceptable" weekend high tide is Saturday, January 31 2009 at 11:17AM

I intend to be in the parking lot at 9:35 AM and enter the water between 10:15 and 10:30 AM, tour the mooring balls until the current is at a safe entry, and drift into the bridge from south to north and beyond the bridge to the north into some shallow wrecks, then drift in and out the pilons under the bridge taking pictures along the way...

If you'd like to join me, let me know... This is a "one-of-a-kind" dive and a max depth of 20'

Likely to see (Note: This is a "Macro" dive. Many of the things you are likely to see will be juvinal size or small is the norm, but not always!)...

All of these pictures were taken in the last three months at Blue Heron Bridge

Jim, great pics. I wish I could be there with you. I intend to dive the bridge on March 9. That's two days after my daughter gets married in Melbourne.

That sounds like fun... count me as a maybe.

Can we move the dive date to the end of March ? Just kidding, but it does sound great.
I will not be able to go till March 28 or later. (Family vacation on Singer island)
If anybody will be diving the bridge the last week of March i would love to tag along.

I think you'd get more interest if this were in the Main Conch section. If you decide you'd like it moved, let me know, and I'll be happy to do it.

It is an invite to the Tampa Bay area gang for us to do the trip over and make the shore dive. Thanks for the offer, but this is where I want it.

I'm sure we can arrange that Dennis. Walter will be there too?

Jim,

I don't know, Walter hasn't chipped in here. I will ask him though the next time I talk to him. If he is there, I expect that Nancy will be also.
