Destin Jetties dive report 5/16/05

[SeaYoda]

I got off early from work today so I checked the tides and took a chance. I made it to the water about an hour after high tide. The viz was 30' with a silty haze. Temperature at 50' was 77 degrees - amazing! The crabs are still out behaving crazy along with more fish beginning to show up. At the end of the dive I got a special treat. There were no boats or people along the beach so I scunorkled (Scuba-diving at snorkel depth) back to the exit point. The treat was that I got to listen to dolphin clicks and whistles as I made my way toward home. They were close but I could not see them no matter how hard I tried. I enjoyed hearing them talk even if they were shy. Attached are some pictures, enjoy.

Excellent report SY. I think I am going to try to make it down that way for the 4th/5th as well to join in. I am hoping for any kind of viz! I haven't been in any saltwater since early December.

Unless somebody volunteers, the weekend of the 4th and 5th is when I'm supposed to work . There's still a chance that someone may want to work in my place but I won't know until about a week out.

Good luck SY, maybe we could take up a fund to try to bribe someone at work for you so you could go diving. I would chip in $20 for the cause..

SeaYoda,
How's it looking for the 25th of May? We are scheduled to go w/ Emerald Coast Scuba for a Destin jetty dive. I suppose we could do it cheaper by going there ourselves but another family we are with will be there snorkeling w/ their kids and our kids.

We would love to dive w/ you but then again, it would only be one dive (I think) and then we are gone. Still, its diving.

I just got my schedule today and I'm working on the 25th. Oh well, maybe next trip. I hope you have a great dive!
