Red Tide in the northern Gulf Of Mexico

[SuPrBuGmAn]

Red tide is being reported in Panama City Beach, Destin, Pensacola Beaches in Florida as well as Orange Beach and Gulf Shores in Alabama. They are testing Ft Morgan, Mobile Bay, and Dauphin Island soon to check on ride tides in these areas as well.

The red tides are responsible for fish kills, and other marine life debilitations as well as skin, eye, and respitory irritation in humans.

Hopefully, they won't last long...

I was just going to mention this. I am now 0 for 3 on Panama City dive trips this year. Katrina, Rita, and now the dreaded Red Tide.

Moral of the story: before you plan a dive trip, check with me. If I'm going, choose another date. There *will* be a disaster.

I should also warn everybody to stay away from St. Thomas 10/12 - 10/18.

Someone on MBT Diver's Forum posted 6" of relief on a dive they made last week.


I was in Gulf Shores yesterday getting a new spearfishing liscense and checked out the site of the Whiskey Wreck. Big surf and low vis, so I didn't get in - still not as big as the last time me and you went out there.

I'll probably have to place a Whikey Wreck dive down in priority list, right after a I change the new strings in my git-tar. I sent you a PM.

We should probably plan a dive to Navarre's Fishing Pier when the surf calms a bit...
