Florida's Ten Worst Dive Sites

I'll bet things were less than "festive" that night. That thing's covered with fire coral, isn't it? *shudder*

Besides, sitting on Jesus' face has just GOT to be some really BAD karma... *wince*

 

Well, besides BHB, I might as well throw beaching diving in to, geez, all that work, sand eveywhere, swim all the way out to the reefs, god I'm spolied, lol

 

No arguments there, my dear friend.

 

Gosh, that can be an incredibly fun and interesting experience!!!

I used to ride my bicycle to Pennekamp with my snorkel stuff in the basket, and snorkel the mangroves around their lagoon. I used to bring non-diving out of town friends there as well. You don't need a dive operator to do it!

 

I wondered the same thing... I started writing a post about BHB, but then I got sidetracked (it was supper time) and I never finished the post.

What's the big deal about it? It's a photographer's dream. You see more interesting sea life there than any other place in Florida. If someone knows a place better than BHB... I'd love to try it out.

Where else do you see Sea Horses, Pipe Fish, Flying Gyunards, Batfish, decorator crabs, Sea Robins, Spotted Eagle Rays, Snake Eels, Green Puffer, etc... I've never had a boring dive at BHB. I either see something new, something interesting, or something amazing on every dive. You just have to look around.

I've seen the viz range from 2-100+ feet.

btw... I'll be there again this weekend.

BHB definitely needs to be part of the 10 best sites.

Jules Undersea Lodge. It costs $35+ to dive in a 5 - 15 foot viz cesspool with no life. Yuck.

 

There's actually a great deal of life, some of it you won't see out on the reefs. I do think it's kinda ghetto though.

 

I agree. And so do the DM's in Key Largo. Molasses can always "salvage" a day of diving when the customers aren't really thrilled with the first dive.

 

The viz can be decent if you get in the water BEFORE the IE class does!
