We'll have photos, hopefully he'll have his wetsuit on 2.5 hrs until I'm outta here, heading to BHB. Tick tock...

Later today Grasshopper!:grouphug: You shall be enlightened!

So you've been holding out on this padawan? Today is abou your though, so lets have an awesome dive. I'm leaving the GoPro at home and coming to just relax and enjoy (though I do have 2 equipment checkouts to do, but shouldn't affect my dive).

Very nice spot. I haven't seen that area. How do you navigate to that spot besides just saying south of the west bridge? How far west and how far south

The "sponge garden" is in the boat channel, you can get excellent video of twin boat props whirling overhead about 5 feet away, worse than possible dismemberment though even if you ditch your flag on the slope or by the bridge there is a very good possibility you will be hassled by the FWC or marine patrol....This of course quadruples on a weekend.

Lovely area I've heard

That's awesome! Congrats Jim! Woot!!!



found my first chromodoris binza today. Oh, it was an excellent day to be diving. Besides it being Jim's 1000th, the water was a sweet blue with vis of 40ft. My computer read 78°

 

[MrChen]

You think it was only 40ft? Visibility was amazing today, even after the tide changed. We easily saw a dozen octopus, 4 or 5 eels, and many other must see items. I couldn't believe how nice it was. I was noticing things I had never seen before but had swam by a dozen times.

LOL.. and some people question my guesses.. they think I am too generous on the distance!
yeah, I would say 40 ft.

Oh, saw a spotted eagle ray too! nice..

Awesome; What great conditions, location and friends for a 1,000 dive.

I hope I'm as lucky as you are when my 1,000 dive rolls around, jimw.

Epic dive conditions today with some awesome people! Glad I could witness dive 1,000! Congrats Jim!

I’m supposed to dive tonight off of Miami, but the marine forecast is less than ideal. (East winds are projected to increase to around 20 knots.)Thus, I’m toying with the idea ditching those plans and heading north to BHB this afternoon. I usually dive solo, but if anyone from SB is around, I’d be more than happy to say “hi”, and maybe even share in some critter spotting. If all goes ideally, I hope to park near the east end, and will be working out of the back of a white Subaru Forrester. Not a lot of those to be seen around these parts. Safe diving y’all.

Awwwwh drat.. not planning on going up there today. Maybe we can catch up some time later..
