[Basking Ridge Diver]

Currently in West Palm Beach - I did a couple drift dives that were great but just did a night dive at the Blue Heron Bridge a beach dive - honestly I think I died and went to heaven... Octopuses, Sea Horses, Spotted Eels, Spaghetti worms, and so much more that I can't believe in less than 20 feet of warm clear water... 97 mins in the water and could have done a second circuit - this should be on everyone's bucket list...

I may need to pass on this one - I am owing my wife big time right now...

I was at the bridge yesterday and 2 other days this week but could not find a seahorse this trip. So how does the BHB diving compare to L Street and Brielle Basin?

Uh, err. Hmmm. I may need to defer the answer to this query to my, uh, "associate" when he returns. :tongue2:

Well.... It is a "Wonderful Surprise"... Since this is not in my backyard - I can say it was spectacular - but home is where the heart is...

If you can dive in the North East - you can dive anywhere and really enjoy seeing things up close and in the distance - sharks, hawkbill turtles, huge moray eels, octopus, sea horses and so much more... I think if I lived here I would not be working nearly as much... LOL and so my wife would be jealous and I may be looking for work...

She did a DSD at the BHB this morning at 7am and in 40 feet of the shore we hit our first octopus of the day... I can never get tired of seeing those... I will try to put together a video when we get home...

WF,

Background Info:
With all the recent rain, the viz is likely to be crap. My sidemount clinic was rescheduled so I have some latitude. The tide slips about an hour later each day.

If you want to try for better viz, we can push it all the way into the coming weekend, but the meetup time gets later and later.

Tide Location Selection for New Jersey
Long Branch to Seaside Heights and then New Bedford (under Shark River)

If you don't have a preference, I'll just post when I'm going to appear.

yeah i am thinking that too this weekend would be better. A night dive

 

[lowviz]

OK, Saturday the 6th at 11:00 PM I splash on the steps in Maclearie Park.

If you show up, we do buddy diving. If not, no prob at all, I have stuff to do...
