There goes labor day weekend, but I can't walk anyways.
 
Was supposed to go to NC from here in FL and Dive the U-352 but think I may have to postpone. Driving I-95 before/during/ or after this would be brutal
 
If it hits as a hurricane/tropical storm; how long until dive boats go out again? Does it take a few days for things to settle down in the water?

Unfortunately, there is no simple answer. It depends a lot on location, water depth, and ????. I've seen things clear up offshore in less than a week and I've seen water conditions remain poor for weeks. In addition to sediment actually being stirred up, I suspect a lot also depends on how local currents are changed/running in the days/weeks following a storm.
 
we have been known to dive just before and just after the storms...as a matter of fact that's the best diving.
