More photos of diving with my 79 year old father!

[Dr. Doug Ebersole]

I went down to West Palm this past weekend with my 79 year old father (who I certified this past summer) and my 13 year old son (junior advanced open water with > 100 dives). It made for a great "guys weekend". We dove Blue Heron Blvd Bridge Friday and then the morning and afternoon charters with Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures Saturday. Sites included Flower Garden, Breakers, South Doubles, and Mid Reef. The seas were flat with a light current and pretty good viz in the morning with the current and seas picking up with falling viz in the afternoon. There was the usual myriad of marine life that included lots of eels and turtles. The forecast was for 8 foot seas Sunday so we headed home. Here are a couple of photos:

Other photos from the weekend are on my website at:

I believe that's my ex-girlfriend from 20 years ago. I told her i'd be back in a few hours ... looks like she's still dazed and waiting!

Brian:

The seahorse was along the westernmost pilings closest to the south side of the east span of the bridge. Does that make sense? Anyway, we saw FIVE seahorses in that area. There have been several seahorses in that area for the past several months. Maybe we can dive there together some time soon and I'll try to find them for you.

Hey Doug,
Have you seen the orange & black sea horse lately? We saw 5 sea horses on 10/1, and the last one was the orange & black one. Unfortunately, I was out of film. (I know... go digital... I hear it every time I run out of film).. we went back on 10/8, and we only found one sea horse, and the orange & black (long snout?) one was gone. I saved my film for it.
