Thanks. I'll send you some dates with good high tides when we are there--Probably in Feb., of course due to tides.

I don't know if you will be in the area yet, but there is a group getting together at vortex new years eve at 10 for some diving if you are interested.

We just arrived today. Looks like Feb. 17,18 & 19 has Pickens high tides between 2-3 PM. Feb.2,3,4 not quite as good for me as all 3 days it's at 3:06, which means a 2nd dive gets me back to Destin later. But let me know what may work for you. There's all kinds of dates in March, but I'd like to go before that if possible. I'm also looking to do St.Andrews in PCB (been there once years ago). A couple of other guys may be interested in that--let me know if you may be interested.

When I get my schedule in I will look at the dates and let you know. The water temps in the bays has been in the mid to upper 50s.

I should've mentioned in my OP about my shell collecting (live ones as well), as I don't want to offend.

Ft Pickens is a park and may have restrictions. I used to flounder there MANY years ago, so I know that this was OK. Collecting live shells? Well, you had better find out if it is allowed inside the park.

I would interpret that to mean no collecting. They sure have tightened the spear rules since I have been there, too.
