Bumps and rubbing on a dive Denise is on? You sure it was the spade fish??
Denise wasn't with us for dive #3 (P-Cola Pier Rubble) or she may have been a suspect
. The first time I dove the Pier Rubble several years ago I experienced the overly friendly spadefish rubbing on my legs. I let out a scream and thought I was about to be eaten. When I saw it was a huge school of spadefish rubing on my legs I was really puzzled as to what they were doing. After that I just expected the spade fishe to rub my legs during my dives there and they have every time I have gone there since.

Ditto, glad you are back in. Congratulations!
Glad to see you had a great dive after so long out of the water! Now you just have to head to the springs to get that nasty salt off your gear!! 
Awesome report! Congrats, Denise!
Thanks soo much sweetie!! I waited until I was cleared and recleared from all the docs. They began to look at me and say...."Why are you here?"
Ditto, glad you are back in. Congratulations!
Thank you soo much! See you at Vortoberfest!

I think Walter was on the dive the day I was rubbed - is there a pattern here?
I thought the whole spadefish rubbing was very cool until I realized they were just trying to get rid of their parasites on me
. I've seen them rub the sand at the Destin jetties but they never came near me like they did in P'cola.I caught some rubbing action in Destin on video. Look at about 01:44 in this clip:
