    Palm Beach diver loses arm as group hit by boat - Florida

    We have these buoys fifty or sixty yards offshore here off Pompano Beach, marking a "vessel exclusion zone". It would be rare to see a boat inside of them. Dive/snorkel flags look pretty small from a boat. I know to look for them and can still get pretty close before spotting them. If you do...

    Sudden new mask leaks

    :-) Once I bought a new mask, the leakage problem miraculously went away.

    Nope. But, she has now also posted a video. Pretty cool. :-) Out by the snorkel trail.

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    A pic of a hammerhead showed up on FB today, taken, apparently, just south of the swim area. Did not appear to be of the concrete variety. . .

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Pygmy Sea Bass, Pearly Razorfish juvenile (that's a guess, but they tell me that they show in *many* different outfits), and Gray Triggerfish juvenile.

    https://www.flickr.com/photos/mentalblock/8322702682/in/album-72157632338304754/ It has come to my attention that some are unaware of the existence of this sign. Can't recall, now, precisely which pillar oh which it is attached. . .

    orientation dives for new Homestead resident

    Don't overlook Miami and Biscayne Bay as options for diving in the Homestead area. I've only done each once, but both were very shallow and had some of the healthiest coral I've seen.

    Ear infections a constant problem

    Cause I'm the laziest guy on the planet. There's a *lot* of things that I *should* do. :-) I *think* they're just a lot of little hairs, but I'll look more closely.

    Ear infections a constant problem

    Some additional personal anecdotal info. I continue to control the right ear issues with my diving via the Athletes Foot medication. Recently, though, the left ear came up with some somewhat different symptoms - some pain and constant, viscous discharge. The anti-fungal cream did nothing for...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Was the juvi angel with ambient light? Nice. ---------- Post added August 23rd, 2015 at 01:01 PM ---------- I'm betting it's a juvi parrotfish, though the juvi green razor does look pretty similar.

    Huge shark in Key West- Bull shark, white shark?

    Nurse sharks can be pretty darn big, and that would be the most likely one to be in that shallow water in the Keys, I would think.

    Shore diving in Roatan?

    As if I don't already have enough entertainment to catch up, *now* I'm gonna have to go read up on every post you've made on the board. Most informative set of posts I've ever read on a subject. And, I now must visit CCV. :-) Thanks so much!

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Have concluded that my eyes are not good enough for such ghostly little creatures. And, my lens ain't good enough for catching the fly-by's of the occasional eagle ray on most such occasions - like on Thursday. There's no shame in becoming enamoured or even consumed by squid shoals. Their...

    We've apparently got one on *each* side! Lucked into one today on the west side, too - also busy with housekeeping. And, *beautiful*!! :D

    Shore Diving & places to stay in SE Florida?

    My somewhat limited experience with checking the webcam suggests that mornings are more often the calmest - and I'm more likely to still be sober enough to dive on a vacation. :D

    Shore Diving & places to stay in SE Florida?

    Yer gonna have a blast, especially if the seas remain as calm as they look at this minute (not uncommon there in the summertime). Keep an eye on this webcam: Windjammer Web Cam - Lauderdale-By-The-Sea Beach Cam Gold Coast Scuba on Commercial Blvd. is yer place. Might check out any of my...
