BHB condition - 18th and 19th March

Hi,
I'm arriving to Palm Beach for the weekend.

When are the High Tide in the morning ? Is there a diving condition ? (Is there a sewer polution?)

Which dive shop is open early so I can rent tank and weights? or maybe open till late ?

Thanks,
Michael

If you go to the bridge right now--Friday nite--there is a nite dive going on--hi tide is now 8:17PM. Talk to someone from the dive shop just down the street, Force E. They are at the bridge and can tell you if they will be open in the morning to get a tank, etc before the morning hi tide of 8:38AM Saturday. Sunday's morning hi tide is 9:25AM. There will likely be a number of divers at the bridge by 7:30am Saturday to begin their dives. Most divers will be in the water an hour or half an hour before hi tide. The site is only 19 ft deep, so dives will be long..............

there is still a bacterial problem, but I did a two hour dive tonight anyway. The water did not smell as bad as it did during late Feb. which is the last time I dove the bridge. Many divers were there tonight, and as you can see in the BHB thread, many have been diving the bridge over the past month despite the posted warnings.

If you dive while the posted warnings are out, take a shower afterward.

Rent your gear here: the shop is less than a mile from the bridge and is located on Blue Heron Blvd.
