Emily (my daughter) is going back to school (virtually this semester), so her opportunities to go diving are going to be even less... and the hurricanes are coming. Being 2020, get what you can, and take what you get....
The original plan was FTW so Emily could get in a deep dive before school. With the stellar weather conditions of the last week I decided we need to head out to Green Bridge (executive decision). Our first dive started just after high tide and we surfaceswam to the mouth of cove. I’ve noticed over time that the current straight out of the cove is a longshore. Visibility was good, starting about 10’ and getting progressively better the farther out we went. We followed the back of one group of rock out until we could swim over them in about 20’ of water and headed south until we hit sand. Plenty of Black Sea bass and tautaug. Exploring the open sand we came across what I at first glance thought was an engine block of some sort. I soon realized it was the rotted crate of 40 mm anti aircraft shell. The rusting metal had fused them into a block, the sand action had polished the brass casings. Shortly after this find we started heading back in. Our max depth was 36’ and our dive time was 63 minutes, 3/4 of a mile.
