Messin' with my fishbowl!

[SeaYoda]

They're dredging the pass where I dive to clear the sand build up from last year's hurricanes. I hope they don't mess things up too bad. They won't be gone until June so I'll be looking to dive elsewhere while they work. Maybe they'll be closer to the bay and out of my way when the weather gets a little warmer and I'm jumping out of my skin to get in the water .

How close to shore did you dive there?

In the first picture where the water is leaking out of the pipe is about where we usually dive. It gets about 55' in that area. I avoid the Jetty on the left because it is normally covered with fishermen. I also stay out of the channel where the boats are going and coming. There is a small finger jetty to the right that is not pictured. That is where most of the critters live. Right now the right side of that jetty is full of sand so no places for the local fish and crabs to live on that "protected" side until they clear out the channel and the sand falls off the jetty. I guess if I want the good I have to put up with the bad. Here's a pic of the sand packed point from today:

Great pics Yoda, in the second one what was the shutter speed used??
I'm guessing 1/500s or so?

I hope that your 'fishbowl' is returned to you intact with great vis and even more nooks and crannies .

Honestly, it looks slightly better than the last time I was there

Great action pic, thanks for the update and the pics. Always enjoy seeing Florida ! Are area looks like the Rock area to the left with brownish green water. Also copper heads and water snakes warming themselves on the rocks.

It was bright out there today and I wanted maximum depth of field so I stayed at f8.0 and picture number two was at shutter speed 1/650 sec.
