Met up with Tracy around 2:30 on Saturday afternoon at Alabama Point for a dive at hightide. Water was quite blue from the surface, surf was low, and there was alot of traffic running in and out of the pass. The traffic caused for a rather loud dive 
Visibility was a solid 15' and water temperatures were very comfortable at 64F. I dove my 3mm without a hood and didn't regret it. Lots of big sheepshead around the point, saw a couple of pufferfish, blennies, scad, sandfish, and lots of jellyfish. Hit a max depth of 30' for a dive lasting just short of an hour. There were alot of fishermen on the jetties and we had some fun pulling on their lines when we came across them. Had a great dive onsite, not much has changed since diving this site last year.
After a halfway gear down, for transport, a stop at the gas station for some drinks, and a bit of driving to get us to the Whiskey Wreck, we were back in the water 51 minutes after exitting from our first dive. Water temperatures were still 64F and surf was running shin high, at most. Visibility around the wreck was around 10', some areas slightly better. Lots of fish coming around, pinfish are all over and a few mangroves here and there. Still lots of big sheepshead and the occasional pufferfish. There were a few jellyfish present, but they were easy to avoid here compared to at the jetties(which pushed them by quickly due to current). Sponges are covering alot of the wreck at the moment, with blennies hiding away inside the growth. Hit a max depth of 17' for a dive lasting 43 minutes.
Mandatory dive debriefing took place at the official debriefing location(Hooters).

. I just hate the next month when the water is too cold to go without suit but air is so hot during the walk to the water. I can't wait to get back to trunks and T-shirt!
