So I'm looking for a good dive spot for myself and my buddy this weekend, and was thinking about diving a pass, namely over in Destin.

I'm looking at the tide info, and looks like a pretty weak tide. Am I reading right, that it's a .3 foot range from low to high for the 10:18AM high tide? That's gonna end up being a pretty crapola dive isn't it?

Code:
Sa   5     High   1:25 AM     0.3   6:30 AM    Rise  5:55 AM      2
     5      Low   4:05 AM     0.2   7:08 PM     Set  6:56 PM
     5     High  10:18 AM     0.5
     5      Low   6:57 PM     0.0
 
You won't have as much clear water pumping in from the Gulf, thats for sure. Still doable, just don't expect stellar visibility :) Plan to get to the parking lot at 9AM if you want to do more than one dive. Otherwise, I'd plan on getting there at 9:30AM so you hit the water right at high slack.
