The continuing sagas of the Blue Heron Bridge

Thanks, Cooltech--it does look like good viz in those pictures! The temps seem rather chilly, though, as we are major wussies! Still, very much looking forward to it! Once is definitely not enough!

Check out Floridas Healthy Beaches from the state Health Dept.

Google (Florida Healthy Beaches) from the Florida Dept of Health. Just click on Palm Beach and scroll down to Phil Foster Park.

This site indicates that the water was ok on the 6th as a sample on the 5th is ok. The lifeguard was not aware of the ok water from the previous day and when we got home the data from the 5th was not yet posted. I think it showed up the next day.

Dive pictures are up from Sunday at Blue Heron!
ArrowCrab, Crab w Hitchhiking Anemone, Decorator Crab, Moon Jelly, Red-Tipped Fireworm, Shortfin Pipefish, & Yellow Seahorse

GOSH DARNIT! I dove at the bridge that day and didn't see the Seahorse! It looks like you were on the western portion. I saw that same horseshoe crab with the anemone on the western side during a night dive a few weeks ago.

Here are some recent pictures from the bridge. Nothing spectacular, although I did get some better shots of the sailfin blenny that CoolTech had pointed out to me. Also, I was very happy to see three fish I've never seen before - a pygmy sea bass, a belted sandfish, and a bluethroated pikeblenny!



Edit: I think this a pygmy sea bass. Can anyone ID it?

Also - I took the picture below of a large clam on the eastern span. When I enlarged the picture, I noticed what maybe be a nudibranch near the bottom left corner and a flatworm near the bottom right corner. Could it be? I will have to look more closely next time. Has anyone else noticed these critters near clams like this?
