Panama City July 15 & 16

Still great pics. Very good work. I've got a similar (but no where as good) pic of pic #1 in your thread of Bridgespan #14.

When I saw the 'bell' on the bridge span when you added additional pics I was 2nd guessing my suggestion it was #14 as I was pretty sure that wasn't on there.

What were water temps down there?

I checked my log book and it does say #13. But you may know better than the crew. The in shore sites seem like they're less than a 100 yards apart.

Water was about 82/83 surface and 76/77 at depth. Say 70 to 90 feet. Most were wearing skins or no wetsuit at all. Very nice.

13 is rarely dived, as it's out there with Stage 1 and the Chippewah - about 105' to the sand.
We decided to come inshore for the third dive Saturday so we could get to supper before all the restaurants closed
Nice shots Don; nice to meet you and your Bride, too!
On Sunday we (My girls, Smedley & I) were on a different boat from Don, but again decided to come inshore for the second dive as there was a layer of crud below 80' out on the Accokeek that was so thick you couldn't read your gauges... above 80' the vis had to be over 100'! That's the Gulf

When I said I was second guessing my suggestion it was #14 when I saw the 'bell' I meant that I didn't remember seeing the 'bell' on #14 and was doubting that it was #14. that was just my initial guess as you were adding more pictures (with the 'bell' etc later) .

I'm sure that your assement that it's #13 is correct. (after all you were the one diving it and not me ). Those bridge spans look an awful lot alike anyway

If I remember correctly the depth to the sand on #14 is maybe around 70 to 79 feet max. Not as deep as #13 is.

okay... no prob and I wasn't implying anything. You had me second guessing myself because I actually missread your post about the Bell.
