I was at Venice last weekend and viz is ok at 5-6 ft still some red tide left over junk on the bottom and lots of dead horse shoe crab, tooth hunting was good for lots of small teeth I collected 565 and another guy went down and came right back up with a 3" meg.
I'm heading south this weekend to Manasota Key to see how I fair

Now not going as viz today reported as less than 1 ft......Shark tooth diving is sounding pretty good!
The wx forecast calls for cooler temps in the coming days--so diving BHB may be crappy in EVERY respect!
bmorescuba,
If you are still following--the Keys are definitely the place to be Friday and Saturday. There is a brief calming of the winds those days (not gone, but less that what we have been having) and with the northerly direction the inside reefs closer to shore in Pennekamp should have good diving conditions (low seas, can't vouch for the vis) as they are sheltered from that direction. It's going to start kicking again Saturday night.
It won't get calm enough to really get things good farther up the Coast.
So, go to Key Largo and enjoy!

Thanks! I just checked and Phil Foster is still officially under warning for swimming (Parks & Recreation - Phil-Foster). That, plus viz reports of 0-2 ft. don't make it sound too appealing. We're not arriving until 11am on Friday, so I'm in doubt as to whether we could make it down to Key Largo in time for afternoon boats. If anyone knows ops who have later afternoon boats, let me know. We should be able to get down there for Sat. am dives, though.
Call around. How many are you? If 3 or more you might be able to get a six-pack (OK for the inner reefs) and control your departure time somewhat. If you arrive on time at 11, by the time you get your luggage and car, it will be noon. You should easily make Key Largo by 2:00.
Try Quiesence Diving Services (only six packs and best service I have ever seen), Conch Republic Divers, and Rainbow Reef.
There are many other good ops as well, these are just suggestions.
BHB is good if you want an ultra-macro bacteria dive!

Microscope photography?
OMG.. I was looking through very old threads here on SB, and came upon something I posted back in the original Trolls thread, years ago..
[chime music]
If I could find an octopus in a bottle
The first that I'd like to do
Is to shoot everyday
Like pho'grapher gone astray
And then to share it with you
If I could make dives last forever
If tides would always be high
I'd log every dive at Blue Heron Bridge
And then share it with you
But there never seems to be enough dives
To cover the east and west spans
But the pillars are very cool
I've looked around enough to know
The shopping carts are illegal
And very near the boats
If I had dive just of wishes
And photos that were all in focus
My SD card would be full
And the batteries still good
And the camera is not flooded
But there never seems to be enough light
And the strobes are so big and heavy
The seahorses are scurrying
And keep moving away
If I could only shoot one
Then my dive will be complete
[end music]
