Pensacola Area Algae

[Hetland]

Any update on the algae and jellies? I'll be in the area for the first week in August and plan to do some shore diving.

Good Luck!

I had 2-15ft viz, with much of that closer to 2ft in Navarre (this past weekend). Destin was better (weekend before), but nothing to brag about. Jellies in both places. Navarre had truckloads of jellies, but they were not stinging too badly (to me anyway). Destin had very few jellies, but the ones they had stung like lit cigars

Those jellyfish must be on steroids!!!! They are pretty painful. Tim

Ouch!!! I took one on the top lip as I jumped off a boat on a night dive two weeks ago. I am glad it was not one of those, this one quit burning after I got into the cold water at depth.
