South FL this weekend

[mntlblok]

Pondering hopping into the van and trying some more shore diving this weekend. The tides for BHB make me hesitant, but I reckon I could run down to LBTS in the mornings if the surf ain't up. Just looked at a web cam and it looks like glass out there today. Perfect weekend to be out of town, so with any encouragement at all I'll be jumping into the van with the cameras. . .

Kevin;
Hit it EARLY and the waves will probably be OK from shore at LBTS.

If your coming from Savannah, no need for that dreaded drive down the coast. 4+ hours on I-95! UGGGH! But there is no need.... Just stop right in Jax and hop on a boat there.... As good as the keys I hear. Chug, chime right in on this one.

Wait.... Disregard, I thought this was for MINI SEASON. Please come on down and have a great time. Just north of LBTS is the 6th street reef in Pompano. Another great shore dive.

Thanks, guys.

I'm just a pitcher taker. I'm scared of those bugs and all those sharp places on em.

Did a *long* swim out once up in Pompano. Pretty cool spot. I can deal with the waves, as long as there's some viz.

There's just something about running into something that you've never seen before that makes BHB such a draw for me. That, and the 2.5 hours of bottom time.

Have never divven Jax. Tried a trip up here once out to Gray's Reef. The experience, several years ago, was bad enough that I would *never* risk it again.

A decent book-on-tape or 2 and a cheap, rat-trap hotel room make the long drives tolerable - barring traffic snarls from wrecks.

Have never divven Jax.

Me neither! But I understand besides the keys, it is the Mini Season hot spot.

Its good advice to be scared of the bugs the sharp points can rip you to pieces. If you find any honey holes in flbts send me a pm and i will gladly take care of the during mini season. Its the decent thing to do.
