I joined the Pura Vida SB invasion today by invite from my good dive buddy @Divin'Papaw and got to meet @NothingClever and @DiveFlag = Target. They took a photo of the 4 of us, I hope it gets posted on their FB page so we can share it.

We dove Flower Garden and Elevator Shaft.

Other divers reported seeing a hammerhead shark, several lemons, and a green turtle.

Jim and I took our sweet time and lagged way behind the group and unfortunately missed all sharks and turtles.

Vis was around 50ft. Seas were pretty calm. There was a light East to West surge which masked the slight north current. Water temp was 76 to 77, but felt cooler. Surface temp was chilly. My daughter got me a boat coat for Xmas and it was awesome to wear.

The new parking and dock situation for PV was honestly an improvement over where the boat used to dock. There was plenty of parking and gear was brought back and forth in a golf cart.
