One sad note, I was born and raised in Fl and remember diving Pennecamp in the 70's. My, how it has changed!! I remember miles of beautiful stag and elkhorn corals. All gone now......Not the same place at all. I doubt I could ever go back. Hopefully, the engineered staghorn that is being grown will be disease resistant enough to allow for an eventual comeback.
Nice photos of what's left!

This was my first time diving there, not sure what it used to be like, so I have nothing really to reference to. However, if there used to be lots of elkhorn there, that truly is not the case anymore. I think I only saw..mmmmm. maybe 4 decent elkhorn heads (or sprouts, whatever they're called) during the 18 dives I did.
Thanks for the comments.

Shame you cant enjoy it because we have been diving these reefs for the last 15 years and the fish life has probably tripled since then.
