Josh L, Mikey P and I met up with TwoBitTxn across from Bahama Bob's yesterday around 7:45PM to go dive the West Beach Paddlewheeler. The water looked clear enough from the surface. It was a bit choppy from the wind and there seemed to be a slight current running from west to east. The water temps were a very comfortable 84F and I opted not to wear any exposure protection, just trunks. Visibility ended up being 5-10' and there is quite a bit of sawgrass moving in and starting to collect on the lower portions of the wreck. I hit a max depth of 15' for a dive lasting 68 minutes. We were schooled by spades and pinfish, mangroves jumped in and out the wreck, and there were quite a few electric skates around, but we were looking for flounder mainly. I ended up taking 10(including 2 large fish), Mikey took 5, and Josh took 3. All in all, we had a great dive.
Looking forward to this weekend, leaving the spears at home and taking the camera back out in Destin

Probably shooting spears on Sunday, but Monday or Tuesday I'll have the camera with me - hopefully, I can get something decent. The paddles are intact-ish and look great!
