I start my OW the 22nd. How long are you gone?

Sounds like you have been getting in a lot of good dives. Good for you. I can't wait till I can join you. See you soon.

P.S. Naked/bikini diving as it was too warm for suits. I know this is bad and I do have a skin. I am sure I will learn my lesson. Or who knows I may smarten up b 4 then. :14: No matter it was a great day and as always I wish I was still under.​

Sounds like a good time

I think we will head out tomorrow for a little low vis diving
What about redtide, any sign yet
Me thinks it is still better than sping diving :monkeydan​

Low viz that is all. As long as you know where the site is, once you are on it you can see. You may want to ask Rich about our second dive. That was the best one to me at least. There was some object just off from the tug but that is where I seen the hi-hats and the stonefish (you really have to look for him as he is camouflaged fantastically).

Toni, I am back Sunday night. Though for some reason your class was this weekend. Hurry up already.

The Orange Tug is very near where we almost did our 1st dive the week before last, you could see the buoy from where the angry fishermen where at (remember them).

Oh right well go there. Keep MaryKate in front of you as the current is a bit strong. That is also where I seen the surgeon fish - the big hunk of junk next to the tug to the right. The stone fish is on the far side of the hunk tucked up underneath it.

We left about 8:30 this morning for a day of diving. We started out with plans to hit the Blackthorne or Sherridan, but about 10 miles away we started having some problems so we ended up at the Indian Shores Reef (only 2 miles from where we were). Seas were fairly calm, 1- 2 feet, with a slow current. We anchored right over the structure west of the bouy. Vis was better than last time, about 10 - 15 feet. We saw several good sized barracuda, lots of huge snook, and miscellaneous other fish. For the second dive we decided to fin over to the bouy to see what was down there. And ya know what??? There isn't a gosh darn thing under that bouy!!! So we navigated back to the structure and putts around there again.
