Last weekend was horrible, but that was last weekend. Water temp 64 deg.

I've never dove Fort Pickens. How good a site is it compared to St. Andrews Jettys, Destin Jettys, etc.? What is the admission fee for the site and what hours do they operate?
 
Oops! Never mind. I just found Hetland's entry on the Dive Site Sticky. Sorry 'bout that.

Quality-wise I like it as much as St. Andrews, and less than Destin, but conditions are a little better better on average at either of those.
 
I'd put Ft. Pickens Second behind St. Andrews with Destin being a close third. Destin would be tied with Ft. Pickens if it weren't for that darned walk of shame.
