Had a great time Yesterday on a dive at Navarre Beach with CMUFieldHockey8. Very enjoyable conditions, vis was good although we had a thick salinity (?) layer at about 17 feet that was hard to see though and it seems most of the fish were hanging around there. Lots of small fish on the columns, we had a great time just checking out the life on the columns. Yes, the Jellies were in but for the most part we could avoid them at depth but we both took a few hits in the cheeks! Overall, it was a nice dive, with a great new buddy. Thanks!!!

Went to Navarre Beach to dive today. The conditions should have made it a nice dive, however, There is a very heavy consentration of algae from the shore line to at least the second snad bar, Visibility was less than 1 foot as I made my way through the Stinging jelly obstacle course. The jellies were thick but nothing compared to the algae. I made my way under the pier and as the depth increased the visability did as well, although to only about 5 feet. MBT had a class of at least 8 people in the water, man would that suck. Take your mask off and clear? I was never taught the proper way of clearing algae from inside my mask...... :-(. There were a ton of bait fish schooling around, but not much else that I could see. Not a good time for Navarre Beach right now. I'm wondering if Pensacola is the same?
This is starting to get disturbing as I haven't seen a really positive report all summer here and I'll be staying on Navarre Beach a month from now. I had some great dives there last year and am hoping to start my mornings off with a couple of great dives when we are there next month. Will it pass or is it going to take a big storm?
