    Deerfield Beach Ledges

    I see that there's a dive site named "Deerfield Beach Ledges" but have heard next to nothing about it? How does it compare to LBTS - especially as regards to parking? Is the bottom structure similar? TIA

    Windjammer Web Cam - Lauderdale-By-The-Sea Beach Cam This webcam has shown the surf to be rough the past couple of days near Anglin Pier. This morning it appears closer to the typical summer "calm". Any of you locals able to venture an estimate for how long it takes for the viz to return to...

    Custom readers in dive mask

    https://www.flickr.com/photos/mentalblock/15687585674/ My old masks started leaking last year so I broke down and tested some new ones. Found one that works and marked it up as directed by the custom mask place on line. Had one before a while back, but somehow managed to lose it in the...

    Sudden new mask leaks

    Both my remaining masks have begun to leak in the same areas. I initially thought it might be due to deeper creases in my old face. Last trip, though, I sorta started thinking that the leak seemed to maybe be happening as I exhaled through my mouth and the bubbles from my regulator mouthpiece...

    Pikeblenny type

    I've gotten conflicting info from "experts" about the type of pikeblenny here, bluethroat or yellowface. What say ye? They were hanging out at the Blue Heron Bridge and were neither shallower than ten feet nor deeper than fifteen. Kevin

    South FL this weekend

    Pondering hopping into the van and trying some more shore diving this weekend. The tides for BHB make me hesitant, but I reckon I could run down to LBTS in the mornings if the surf ain't up. Just looked at a web cam and it looks like glass out there today. Perfect weekend to be out of town...

    Blenny

    Earlier on that same dive, I ran across this little guy. The face made me wonder about Sailfin Blenny (which I've yet to find), but I'm told he was too big for that and woulda had to have been poking out from a hole. He was probably at least two inches long and over on the north side of the...

    Little blue thing

    This little thing floated by as I was paralleling the beach out in front of the lifeguard stand on March 11's high tide at the Blue Heron Bridge. My memory is a bit cloudy, as was the viz at that point, but my best guess for size is in the 1/8 to 1/4 inch range. Lost track of him after...

    Windjammer - Lauderdale-By-The-Sea Beach Cam Did my usual quick look at the Lauderdale by the Sea webcam this morning and was shocked to find some accomplished surfers out there having a very good time. How the heck do they figger out so quickly that it's a surfing day there? The surf...

    Some kind of toadfish?

    A new diver at the Blue Heron Bridge recently photographed this thing and posted it in the bridge thread. Looks more like a toadfish, to me, than a scorpionfish or barbfish. Anybody know what it is? Kevin

    Sea Cucumber?

    Just took a quick shot in passing cause it sorta looked like it might be "something" whilst diving at BHB last Friday. Lots of other stuff in the shot, too, but I'm talking about the big, brown thing in the middle that has what sort of looks like a white "mouth" in the lower portion. TIA Kevin
