Vortex Springs

[SuPrBuGmAn]

After 2 weeks without huffing from a tank of dry air, I finally managed to get myself back underwater. Seas have been rough for the past 2 weeks keeping me from doing shore dives and the boat dive I had chartered for today(8/15) was cancelled do to rough seas.

Whats a person to do? Go inland of course

Myself, Jlayman(ScubaBoarder), Patrick and Josh(Friends) packed up early this morning and headed out to Vortex Springs. While it was cooler this morning, the water(68ºF) made the air temps feel quite a bit warmer. We got there before there were too many classes in the water so we enjoyed some good visibility and had an overall good time in the two tanks that we dove.

Here are some pics.

^^Gotta be one of the scariest pictures I've ever taken in my life^^ Just kidding John!

Canceled, really? We went out yesterday at PC and it was flat calm. This was around noon. Could Destin be that different?

I didn't charter from Destin, I was going out from Orange Beach, AL. I later heard that they did have a morning boat go out, so I'm thinking it was more a matter of not being able to get the minimum of divers to cover the boats expenses? *shrugs*

We had fun anyway

As much fun as you can have in VOrtex, anyway.
