I am taking an online class, and here it is on a Sunday night when I got to this part:
My question. In Bold, should that be 66fsw? If not. Why? Please explain.
My experience with low vis, no matter how warm the water, or time of day.. the critters are hiding! There ain't nuthin' to look for b'cause they all be hidin'!
BRRRR.... If I lived on the west coast and were considering driving over. I would consider a few things:
1. Late afternoon high tides means you'll probably be getting out in the dark 🥶 🥶
2. It's a bit chilly. Saturday morning temps are in the falling iguana range
3. Sunday will only be...
A trip to Blue Heron Bridge on Sunday.
The striated froggie is located in about 3ft of water, where lots of people enter the water. How it doesn't get trampled is baffling. I got this one shot off in a break from the low vis from people putting on fins and milling around.
Found this less...
@Pipehorse Me thinks you are spot on with the analogy of Birding at the wetlands and diving at BHB!!! So true!!!
And those $15K cameras do not guarantee good photography, above or below water!
Thanks for the trip reports!
Walter used to be very active in the Florida Forums. Don't know if he even dives anymore.. anyways, he was always a stickler for grammatical errors/omissions, etc.. When somebody said Largo, he would say that is on the west coast, south of Tampa.. If you want to...
Hey @Pipehorse have been wondering where you were! Haven't seen you post in a long time! Glad to know you're OK!
It appears to be that the trend of most divers I know, when not diving, or unable to dive (weather, physical, etc) then birding is the next best thing!
Wakodahatchee and Green Cay...
I wore my 5mm with sharkskin vest, double hoods, and got cold. I also got 169 min..at 73° degrees. (Dang, I miss the degree shortcut.. ALT+0176). Found the two pipefish and striated froggie within the first 6 minutes.. not bad! I didn't get good shots, too much particulate in the water thanks to...
I vaguely remember the days before the park was redone after the string of hurricanes Francis and Jeanne. We used to park on the side of the road and take the steps down to the east side.
After the hurricanes, the park was closed for over a year to clean out all the sunken items. The two boats...
There has always been a parking lot. It is however more popular than ever. There are times I've arrived 3 hours prior to high tide just so I can get a parking spot. Those are the days that non divers are most likely to also want parking spots
I did the bridge today. Early tide, overcast, and plenty of parking. Pretty epic day for critter finds. Spotted eagle rays, manatee (twice!), seahorses, batfish, sea robin, pike blennies, dwarf froggie, striated froggie...
