Played hookie today, and went on a spearfishing trip with Gulf Coast Divers in Mobile. There were three divers on a three tank trip, but one of the divers only dove twice. We came back with 3 really nice red snapper, and one "legal, but nothing to brag about" red snapper. We also brought in two very nice black snapper, a grouper, and an amberjack. There were fish EVERYWHERE, and I lost a nice red snapper that wiggled off. On the third dive, I just took my camera. The answer to the question I asked in the title: YouTube - SCUBA Diving with Gulf Coast Divers
All three places we dropped, we had 80ish temps at the top, skum, and thermocline haze until about 25 feet. Viz opened to 50+ until the very bottom. The bottom 8-10 feet was silted and skumed down to around 8-10 feet, and a 70-71 degree temp. Deepest dive on my comp was 103, and again, LOTS OF FISH. Most were not shootable, but it was still nice to see that the gulf was filling up.
Special thanks to Gulf Coast Divers, who put us on some wonderful spots, and helped us bring home the bacon.
