Warm day, clear skies, and relatively flat water 
Why would you want more? I met up with Shagman, alcrmsntde, and Josh(MBT fame) at the public access next to Bahama Bob's around 6:30ishPM tonight. The water was running ankle-shin high with a noticable, but slight, westerly sideshore current. From the surface, the water had a blueish tint, but was noticably cloudy.
Shagman and I buddied up and the entire group hit the water. We descended(er... knelt down and swam) and headed south until we hit wreckage where I tied off. Visibility was 3-5' on the way out and would improve a bit at the end of the dive to the 5-12' range. Shagman did an excellent dive of sticking by me and was consistant about answering my light signals. Nicely done, excellent diver with the amount of experience under his belt. We looped the starboard outside of the wreck to the stern, where I showed him the rudder, looped to the interior of the wreck and around the inside starboard side to the break in the hull, then crossed over to the portside interior heading aft, then outside portside, back to the starboard break and across sand to the port bow outside hull, then inside, then starboard inside, followed by outiside, then several other variations for the rest of the dive
Lots of spadefish, large sheepshead, flounder, pigfish, crab, catfish, a couple puffers, ect onsite. Towards the end of the dive, Josh spotted a nice basketball sized turtle that we followed for a bit, definately the high point of our 83 minute dive. Water was 67F and we hit a max depth of 15'.
We dove at low tide with a westerly wind kicking the crap from Mobile Bay into our area. Things could have been better, but you won't hear any of us complaining as I think we all had a great dive out there.
7 flounder managed to impale themselves on my polespear for some reason or another as well.
Post dive debriefing and libations, at Hooters. Much discussion on diving insued.
