So Fl Divers, remember this?

In mid august, the newly certified diver (ME) drove down from NY to West Palm Beach Florida. Upon arriving at Blue Heron Bridge, I excitedly walked to the fishing pier only to see most divers worst nightmare! You only have to watch the first two minutes to relive the wonderful memories!

Yeah, I went on a night dive in January and got tore up by those suckers

Last year's Moon Jelly invasion was most impressive. I suited up in warm water only to get stung on my lip.

re: Moon Jellys--On the days we dove BHB last year during the FULL moon event, we dove with the jellys and were mostly unstung; and for us, the stings were not a problem. I did learn to avoid the central stalk. The stinging cells on their margin were less of a problem--sorta like some hydroids............We did wear skins!!

Jellys kill goliath grouper---during the moon invasion last year lots of moons got chopped up at the intake to the St Lucie nuclear power plant. The random parts went into a cooling lagoon where lots of goliaths were stung around the gills and died. Google for the whole story!!
