It was pretty rough indeed. The Capt. said the wind was around 20+ knots all day. We did two dives. One on the Mercedes and one a wreck they call Hog Heaven. I dived EAN 32, so I had really good bottom time. I was the last one to surface both times. The wrecks were pretty cool. I am never dived in South Florida, so it was a nice first exposure. I saw my first moray eel, a speckled looking eel, a lionfish, and a ton more fish. Was nice and warm until you broke about 65 feet deep on the Mercedes. It was cold then. I made dives 19 and 20, so I am tickled. My family and I are bringing my boat down to Port St. Joe this summer for a week. I plan on trying to work in some more dives then. Thanks for all the advice and help guys! I was considering diving tonight, but the wind is not supposed to lay down and I do not want to get pounded around again.

Make the run to BHB if sea state does not allow a dive.

If I had a vehicle I would. But, I usually do not rent a car when I come to these conferences as they are in big hotels with places to eat around them.
