Anyone up for a Fort Pickens Dive Friday or Saturday???
 
I will be at Fort Pickens jetty at 12:30 PM Saturday with two other ScubabBoard members. If you want to dive meet us there.....look for the Red Dodge Ram with the tank rack in the back.
 
I forgot it was tourist season and got stuck in traffic. After getting stuck in traffic for about 30 min. I turned around in Gulf Breeze.
 
I went over early then expected...I am glad I did. I went about 11 AM and traffic was heavy but moving. Left about 5 PM and traffic going over to the beach was backed up over the bridge almost back to Hwy 98.

But, the dive at Ft. Pickens today was great. Warm water, viz about 20-25, No current, and perfect weather. The Gulf was perfect also....great day of diving.

Traffic was beyond terrible. Got there late, but still got in an hour+ dive that was very nice. Saw some of this:

I didn't bring my camera out today. Saw some of the biggest and nicest anenomes today I have ever seen in the Gulf. We saw all kinds of sea life today...Pickens is a fun dive.

I was really excited to see the french angel, even though he was shy, and wouldn't let me get anywhere near him.
 
Glad you guys had good conditions and thanks for the pics. I was really looking forward to getting wet again, it has been over a month! You know you are getting rusty when you almost drive off with your tanks still in the house.
