Pensacola Area Algae

Yes, I was the one with the Camera. I was scouting for a night dive, but no chance with current visibility.

Kevin, are you saying St. Andrews was clear? Destin was clear Thursday of last week, but I'm sure the algae is heading east with the prevailing winds this week. I think the St. Andrews should be ok for at least a week. I'm really curious how far east of Navarre it is? Has anyone seen the algae in Destin?

Well me and my buddy thought it was good viz. I dove it 2 weeks ago too and the viz was about the same. To me 20 to 25 ft is excellent viz, its not clear viz by any means, lots of suspended particles but I didnt notice any algae.

Man, it would be nice to get 20'-25' vis.. Its been 10'-15' here. All good thou.

Last week at Navarre: YouTube - Navarre Pier 6/2008 - Crappy Viz

That looks like great vis compared to what I dove Saturday.

Check this Video! I shot this near the end of the pier to the west side where the debris is, I was trying to salvage the dive by watching some macro stuff, but you can see all the algae drifting through in the video:
