It sounds great. Is anyone planning on doing the night dive on Dec 26th?
I might get my arm twisted to do said dive. 
Force-E has canceled tonight's BHB night dive. Anyone that was interested has probably seen that already but sharing just in case since it was brought up on this thread.

We are in the winter season, but this last 2 weeks has seen high surf with high tides from the very strong storms rolling off Georgia and sending us 5-9ft waves. These conditions are eating away the sand on the beaches and stirring it up just a few hundred yards off shore. As high tide moves inland, it brings this sand soup to the bridge. Viz goes down to inches.
But the good news is all this wave action is coming with strong northeast winds and that pushes clear blue water on the main reefs that we all boat dive. So while BHB may get blown out due to the beach sand soup, boat diving is some of the best you will find all year with tons of sharks goliaths and all the big stuff migrating south to seek warmer water. Watch this link to Windfinder and jump on a dive boat and you'll love it !! Attached below is a pict from the WPB inlet cam today that you can see the deep cliff cuts from the sand being taken out to sea.
Viz was 2-5' yesterday morning so they canceled the night dive last night. Johnoly beautifully summarized the dynamics of what causes this in the post above. Sea conditions look crappy all weekend for boat diving but it is forecasted to improve beginning Monday. I'm booked to dive out of Boynton on New Years Eve. Should be awesome!!
