Well after 24 years, I finally shore dived the Hollywood North Beach Park once more. The surf though from shore did not look rough, when I was in it though, this freshwater diver took a little pounding. Survived the surf ok, I had not dove this exact area before, dove old Sherman Street many times over the years, years ago, but today seems like I would never get to the first reef line but did. Viz was about 10' maybe further, saw a large angelfish, trunkfish, some juvenille sergant majors, porkfish among other tropicals. Think I saw a few sea rods or whips and maybe a sea fan or two. I did not get far into this part of the reef, then hit sand again. If this is like the other places I use to dive, then there would be a ledge in 20' to 25' of water, depending on tide. Maximum depth this dive was 15' for 23 minutes. Solo dive. Was glad not to see lionfish, sharks, etc. Afterwards drove up to Haulover beach park, and that was interesting too.
