Yeah we dive in that 4 mph current on Sunday. I was happy to not be pulling a float. It was very difficult to crawl just 5 ft upcurrent while holding onto the reef. We got the boat limit of bugs but it took 3 dives.

Do y'all think the upcoming storm from the gulf could affect diving in the WPB area next weekend?

Went out on Pura Vida today, the deep boat. Mid reef and then corridor starting from the Mitzpah to the barge. Visibility was great. Current was light but going south when we first dropped on Mid Reef. It was going North when we were on the corridor. It was a little bumpy out. Captain headed into the inlet during the surface interval.

When you dive locally, you have the luxury, as a visitor, you are at the mercy of the conditions.

Definitely. But anyone planning to dive in SFL next week through next weekend needs to seriously rethink their plans. Just my 2 cents. Doubt there will be much diving happening.

Agree. Also they started to 'slowly' dump Lk Okee today. If we get alot of rain, they will open the gates even more. Hope your home & town are safe from storm damage. Tampa and south to Venice waterfront got killed with water & sand.

In Palm Beach County they are draining all in inland canals in to the intracoastal and out in to the ocean.... No viz for at least 2 days.
Will be looking for the BHB vis reports. Pretty much if vis is blown out there, it's also blown out oceanside.
Can I brag for just one minute? I KNOW it's not Palm Beach.. but it is beach.. LOL.
I have only ever limited twice in my life before this year, always off the beach. This year I have limited three times, twice this week! The lobsters on Wednesday night were everywhere! My buddy and I limited in 33 minutes. At 46 minutes we caught enough to switch out the smaller (legal of course!) ones for bigger. And they were still everywhere! Went back out Thursday night same place. Bugs much more skittish and numbers way down. I limited, and my buddy got two
/end brag.
Carry on..
