Dived the bridge today. High tide 6:16pm. We got there early from a boat dive so had easy parking but by 430, the sections by the beach were full, lots of divers today including two or three classes. We entered the water at 5:30 and went towards the east span where a pretty strong current almost swept us under the bridge. We got back to the shallow by essentially crawling hand over hand, then decided to head to the north section. Much lower current. Vizibility was about 20'. Water was 80 or so. Lots of schools of pinfish, small grunts and other small fish. Pretty cool to see a school of large parrotfish. Didnt manage to find any octopi, but did see some jawfish/shrimp combos and I believe a mantis shrimp, as well as many of the other usual suspects. Overall was an enjoyable dive. And thanks to the man who offered to lend us some weight for my dive buddy (forgot to grab some when we picked up the rental tank).
