went out to ft pickens today and this was my second trip there. last dive was 2 weekends ago and had 3 dives that day which werent great with 5ft viz and a decent current/surge. was rather rough on the surface, high tide was morning time, was at the site about 815 am and started gearing up. ok, as for today now. was a lot better, viz around 10ft with high tide around 10-ish. pretty slack currents, tho they seemed to pick up a little later, expected. i went out with the instructor which certified me just to tag along with the class, dive, chat, and have fun. he and i set out some line came back and he started the briefing. now to the fun stuff, water was 69F and surface was rather calm considering the red flag on gulf side. picture will show. went out, swam around a lot and had fun(dont wanna bore everyone with the repetitiveness of goin out with each group) but saw some fish, anemones, urchins, shells, the usual. overall i had about ~90 mins in the water and hit bout 40'. even managed to get a free beer from some campers sitting on the beach after catching their cooler lid and taking it back. pretty good end to my weekend before finals start tomorrow. vortex/springfest wouldve been all that could have made it better.
