Palm Beach Sites?

[bjpell]

I'm looking at diving either Phil Foster Park, or the Worth Avenue Pier Debris. Anyone dove either of these spots?

We (3 to 4 of us) will be on alu 80's so bottom time is limited, which would you suggest??? Is the Phil Foster Park dive difficult with the tidal currents? I hear that it can be impossible to dive depending on currents there. Any help would be great. Thanks guys.:icosm01:

Phil Foster park is a great dive. There have been multiple threads about it (some by me) over the past few months. The park has recently reopened and is very nice -- picnic tables, showers, etc. It's only 15-20 feet deep so bottom time on your 80s is not a problem. You need to dive it from about 1/2 hour before high tide to 1/2 hour after high tide due to the currents and to get the best viz. I usually dive the eastern small span but you can also dive the small span at the western end of the park as well. The marine life there is great! Below are links to my most recent two dives there over the past couple of weeks:
