Every once in a while, the inlet cam just SE of BHB catches something interesting. Bull shark?

It was probably the eclipse. They came out to see who turned out the lights and make sure that nobody was going to do it again today. :wink: Jokes aside, I have no idea whey they were out in good numbers. I'd also be interested in hearing theories as to why that might have happened.

In the past, they posted the time that the sample was taken, as well as the date. It was then possible to look back at the tide tables & figure out if the sample was taken closer to high tide or low tide. I only dive BHB at or near high tide. since the water quality is normally MUCH worse at...

I also notice a lot of cyclical differences in the variety of growth in other areas within a few miles of the bridge. I mostly attribute the differences to varied nutrient loading and salinity in the water due to variations in run off from the cane fields & variations in flushing of water from...

If you would like details on specific examples I listed, please feel free to ask. The hitching a ride on a truck example was a what if, rather than something I know to have happened, but the rest of them are solid examples. The hitching a ride on a truck example is something that inspectors at...

How about these - First sighting reported in January of 2022 & not seen since https://scubaboard.com/community/threads/blue-heron-bridge-trolls-iii.518369/page-131

Or man moves in, or hunting regs change, or something causes a change in the rodent population, or a natural predator is removed from the area, or somebody gets a pet mongoose, or, or, or... Lots of things push critters around. Here I speak from experience as a former hunter. There was a time...

My apologies for only listing a pair of invasive species in my earlier post. In the case of the peacocks, they had been here in the past, then disappeared after a cool winter, then returned a few years later. I have also notice a large number of native species that have been on the move. I...

I for one am not going to call BS. I will comment that sometimes it is possible to misidentify a snake, which is why after getting bitten, I generally try to kill the snake & bring it to the hospital with me for more positive identification, so that I can improve my chances of getting the...

When I lived in AZ, we had about 15 different kinds of rattle snakes. The little greenish ones & the little blueish ones had the most active venom. If you got nailed by one of those, typically you had about 15 minutes to get the correct anti-venom or it was game over. The anti-venom needs to...

I'm still not choosing brightline. Their booking policies are too invasive & the safety record is bad. That aside, I would also rather it go to Fort Pierce rather than Stuart. There is more in Fort Pierce that I would like to visit. All in all, it sounds like they continue to not sell what...

Funny, I've sailed past that boat many times, seen the tanks on the back, & never knew that they were a dive charter boat. I had assumed them to be a research vessel. They need to advertise better.

Maybe they all saw my prediction of good conditions from the other day. :cool: Jokes aside, I'm glad that you had a nice dive & I'm glad to see that the resource is attracting prolific use. ...and thank you for yet another batch of fantastic pictures.

Look on Singer Island, east of the bridge, town of Palm Beach Shores. If you want something more cost effective, then you need to define your limits of "nice" and "close"

The water on the outside looks beautiful today, as does the weather. The forecast for the next couple of days looks very good. I would expect that now should be a good time to hit the bridge for a dunk & a look around at high tide, just based on local observations.

There were some inconsistencies. At one point they say he could hear his crew mates (plural) getting eaten. At another point they say that all but one body were recovered.

This is a more recently posted video of an Orca jumping a Great White. In the past, I've seen a large shark jumped by a larger shark, from much the same angle, but I've never seen an Orca in action.

In a one in a million rescue, body recovery divers find a survivor & get him back topside alive after 3 days at 100' trapped in a sunken tug. Below are two very different versions of the same story. The first one almost looks like an infomercial for Coke.

Yea, try diving Boston Harbor sometime. It will adjust your perspective. Suddenly a bad day here looks great! :wink: Jokes aside, conditions here do vary. As for Anderson connectors, I stock the gray SB50 size & the crimp tool for them in my shop, about 10 miles from BHB. Let me know if you...

Geeze, if I turned up information that you did not already know, then I really did accomplish something the other day. :thumb: The Almacos around here I can spot from 50 yard out due to the higher body profile & fin shapes that you list. The toughest call for me has been if an in-slot lessor...
