rat-man: great shots of the manatees!!!! I've seen them at the bridge a few times, but they are usually moving pretty quickly, so by the time one sees them, all that one can do is get a tail shot as the manatees swim north. It almost looks like they were resting in the first picture.

They stopped for a minute but I had my head down looking for seahorses. A woman behind me was trying desperately to get my attention and when I looked up they were both within arms length. Scared the hell out of me for a second and then they took off 
Just heard on the news that they found a female diver unconscious, in the water, at about 1130 this morning. Stay safe out there.

How sad! But this article says she was with a buddy.
Clearwater woman dies while diving in Riviera Beach | www.palmbeachpost.com

RIVIERA BEACH
A female diver died Sunday near Phil Foster Park, the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office said.
A sheriffs marine unit found the woman around 11:30 a.m. floating in the Intracoastal Waterway near the Jerry Thomas Memorial Bridge, which links Riviera Beach and Singer Island along Blue Heron Boulevard. The sheriffs office did not release the womans identity but described her as a 57-year-old woman from Clearwater.
According to the report, the woman was diving with a buddy who told her to surface but the woman kept going down after a starfish. The other diver and the woman became separated. When he surfaced, he saw the sheriffs boat pulling the woman out of the water.
The woman was taken to St. Marys Medical Center in West Palm Beach, where she was pronounced dead, said Teri Barbera, sheriffs spokeswoman.
Whether the death was caused by some sort of underwater accident or a medical problem is still under investigation.
p.s. Nice manatee pics Rat-man! This is the second report this week of manatee sightings! They're appearing early this year, aren't they?
