Blue Heron Bridge Trolls III

[Rob Phillips]

Anyone dive the bridge this morning?

I'm looking at the bridge as potentially my only option to dive this weekend - boats thumbed, and shore dives looking a little choppy ... wondering if conditions at BHB are still in the terrible to awful range?

I'm wondering specifically about bacteria levels and vis. Any improvements?

The no swimming advisory was lifted on Oct 19th. The no-viz limit continues in single digits or even fractions of a foot at times. But check Blue Heron Bridge Dive Club on Facebook for a this morning viz report. I noticed that Force E has cancelled their night dive at BHB for tonight.

ugh ...

"Well I got up to take a look at the water this morning at the park. The VIZ in my coffee looks better than what's in the park on the west side near the fishing pier. The east side might have had 1-3 feet in the shallows, but any deeper and it looked the same as the west side."


wish I hadn't checked
I think I haven't been underwater since just a couple days after the hurricane ... losing the plot here on dry land, lol. I might just dive in the soup tomorrow morning just to practice low vis stuff.

Was debating whether to go BHB tomorrow as well, still debating.

Vis might be really sucky and all, but at least if you're really desperate to get wet, you can. Course all the fish are hiding too..

Viz at BHB Tuesday morning reported to be, Drum Roll, 20 fabulous ft!! As the reporter said, "the pool is open", Thanks Markus!

I heard a 'no swim advisory' due to bacteria was reported today.

Yep, I saw a press release put out by the Palm Beach County Health Dept after 4pm today....It is on their site. Sample taken the 31st, so they should resample tomorrow and update the site Thursday--sucks, as we planned to dive BHB tomorrow-might wait a day or two now.

A friend dove BHB this morning and reports 20 ft viz on the west side and 81 degrees.
