[Scuba_Jenny]

Jet reported the viz at 10 ft and cloudy yesterday. On Wednesday, we saw a lot of Mullet digging up the bottom--enough that I thought they created the declining viz. Not only did they dig--they took a crap at every startling event and according to the mullet there were many startling events. It looked like a WW2 aerial bombing movie with mullet "flak" balls all over the place!!

It was fairly clear over south of the west bridge at 20-25 ft. before tidal change.

We are going today anyway and hope for better viz and less mullet flak!:cool2:

You forgot that I invited you! If you see this in time, you could catch a ride up with me (leaving by noon the latest) but I have to come right home after the dive.

Friday Fish Follies--VIZ improving

Viz was improved yesterday to 15, maybe 20 at times--mullet are stirring up the bottom but we went east this time and a lot of the sand bottom is harder than on the west side so that helped! Jenny pointed out a tiny jelly right after we got in--then we saw a larger version out by the rocks. Probably got too close trying to shoot pics--the bell on this one is about 2-3 inches in length. The thing looked virulent to me!:cool2: And the tentacles are quite long--longer than pictured. No stings though!! Once again we interacted with Ma Nature without damage to ourselves!! We saw a few moons, some being consumed by fish. A very enjoyable dive--thanks Debby and Jenny!

Anybody else notice how many turtle egg shells there were yesterday? I first saw a few near the snorkel trail and that boat, but then saw them scattered throughout the whole area we dived except under the bridge..

And as far as the Thanksgiving dive/ meet n greet.. How about the weekend before? High tide is 11:45 am. Much more doable to get there early, get a dive in and then enjoy each others company the rest of the day. What say you?
