Managed to get a lot of diving in this last weekend... morning trip out of Destin, night dive out of Destin and off shore dive out of Panama City.
Water is sort of ok vis, but terrible for photo's... have never had such difficulty with backscatter.
Sat morning dive involved lots and lots of small jellyfish, which seemed to sting really bad. Doing a safety stop involved a lot of dodging...or getting stung...or both.
We went way to the east for the first dive.. a reef I don't get to very often....then back to Amberjack reef. Night dive was the Liberty ship and the east stack.
Images may be mixed up a bit...but this was, for some strange reason, a octopus weekend...but before getting to those images... the required nudi image:
For some odd reason, have suddenly been seeing spotted scorpion fish up here (they are common in the keys)...this is the second weekend were I got images of one:
Our normal one looks like this (from the night dive):
