Palm Beach Dive Thread

Threw it in a lobster bag clipped to my waist. I had it for dinner last night, just boiled it. Their claws are amazingly hard to crack, but they are very good. Didn't mess with the body.

Roger that. I’ll add them to the grocery list. No size limits right? I don’t see anything on the FWC website about them.

Is PBS shutting down? Never dove with them so I don’t care too much. More just curious…

For the benefit of those of us who don't go out on charter boats & don't know all the charter options in the area, who is PBS?

One question pops to my mind - does the dive charter operator own the boat, or rent it from an investor? If the boat sells from one investor to another, then perhaps the charter continues.

A dive boat is called a lot of things.... but investment isn't one of them!

Anyone go out today?

I was supposed to go out with Pura Vida yesterday but they canceled it. Not sure if the weather or lack of interest.

The only report I saw today was from SFDH in Pompano. 60 feet of blue water viz, slight south current, 78 degrees.

Conditions are looking to improve signicantly beginning Wed 12/27 and lasting through the year end/new year weekend. Should be lots of diving happening to end the year & begin 2024!!

I agree based on forecasted wind speeds & the Euro pressure forecast. Just be careful.
It's a well known history lesson that every Xmas week, all the veteran NOAA forecasters are on vacation and they turn over all the computer models to the "Interns". There are so many times we have been burned by 100% completely wrong holiday week forecasts ( ie - wildly wrong & not even close )

Watch the wind speeds & direction and look at the Euro pressure maps. The wave models are completely ignored till they get back in the office on January 8th.
