Blue Heron Solo?

[SWAMPY459]

Question:

Are there any site specific rules or regulations about solo diving at the blue heron bridge? Will the cops / lifeguards there say anything if you are alone?

As long as you have a dive flag and stay out of the swim area when you enter the water, no one will ask any questions of any kind including if you are diving without a buddy. I think the shops that sponsor night dives want you to have a buddy though.

I dived there solo a few times, never hassled. There are enough divers you can probably pick up a buddy if you want since they all tend to arrive about the same time due to tidal currents.

And if they do, tell em he pissed you off so you chained him to the bottom and left him there. Then smile and walk away. ;=)

There's a sign at the bridge indicating Spare Air is forbidden, along with Force Fins and fire diving!:cool2: No mention of Self Reliant diving!

As stated earlier no one will notice and buddys are easy to find if needed. Get there 2 hours before hi tide or so to talk to folks and get some site advice, etc. Start out south of the beach--then as tidal current allows--to the east or west bridge. Stay out of the guarded and buoyed swim area and the boat channel and all is well.

Force E Riviera Beach just west of the bridge has a site map they give away along with tide tables. Pura Vida on the east side has tide tables too.

I have dove there quite a few times solo. You are not in the life guarded area, in fact, you are supposed to stay off of his/her beach I do recall. It is a pretty easy dive, nothing to it. Really, if you have a camera, you want to be solo.

Does it alone sometimes.

No problem. I even did it solo at night with no issues.

Solo is fine. When are you planning on going?

I know Spare Air and Force Fins, had to look up fire diving, I'll pass
