If you arrive at the park/BHB 2 or 2 and a half hours before high tide--you will find a lot of folks to give you a briefing or to dive with. Come on down!! You could even make it Friday, if there's a scrub; as high tide is 3pm. Sat hi 4:05pm, Sun 5:11pm. West side is open and the east will be soon as the guard rails on the new bridge are installed now.
Here's a general plan. Get in an hour early(before hi tide)and fiddle around under the boats south off the beach, head NW toward the bridge sometime before slack hi tide, possible a half hour or so, use the small current to your advantage. enjoy the pillars or look for octos, etc south of the bridge as you work your way west to the channel wall--do the wall on the channel side as slack hits. At the "wall" exit kick NE to the fishing pier. great fishy spot is the rubble on the N edge of pier about half way down. When the current reverses- ride it back to the entry...................This will make for about a 90-120 minute dive.:cool2:
