My bad Val. I was talking about Broward, the current definitely picks up the farther north you get.

Onespeed, Very well said.

With all due respect, your book is wrong. I dive "on the hook" quite often Val.

Please take this excellent advice. The current on the reef in SoFlo can kick your butt!

Chug says it all.

While clearly not a Florida Conch Divers dive site, I thought this article would be of interest to all divers. ScubaNation | Dive Connect Share | One Nation, Underwater

Did anyone else see this? A guy drowns trying to "save" two people who he thought were drowning, but were actually just loaded. Remember the rescue diver rule: personal safety first. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/broward/hollywood/fl-dania-beach-drowning-update-20100628,0,1550961.story

As Matt stated, 5pm is no good. You really have to dive the BHB on slack high tide. It's not so much about viz, as it is about current, which rips through there.

Dennis' post was more accurate than mine. If your vessel operator has a guide/charter license, you would be covered. In my experience, most dive ops do not. The captain/crew may have their own personal licenses, but that would not cover you. They need a license specifically for the purpose...

It's not the size of the tickle stick...it's how you tickle the spot. I don't know, there's something witty in there somewhere.

Welcome. Be sure to check out Florida Conch Divers forum.

Check out this thread on diving BB. Very close to Lake Worth. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/florida-conch-divers/193379-boynton-dive-chronicles-new-improved.html

Zaixon, Did you figure out which boat you are on Saturday AM for sure? I'm looking to dive that morning, as are some other SB folks. I maybe up for a dive Monday AM (a lot depends on if my neighbor is having his annual 4th of July party on Sunday) :beerchug:

T2, OrlandoEric deserves credit for the cool lobster walking video. I, however, will take credit for pointing out that there is no season, size limit, or bag limit on lionfish or tar balls.

No surprise. The state came up almost $3bb short on the budget this year. They have to make cuts/earn revenue from somewhere.

Swim east...that's what I've been doing wrong!!! Here's a link with a little more detail of the area for you. http://www.fillexpress.com/library/datura.shtml

Craig, I just PM'd you my email address. I'm looking to put some dives together this weekend too. I was planning on doing an AM dive on Saturday on www.pompanodivecenter.com but would also do http://www.scubafortlauderdale.com.

Chug, please keep us posted on his progress. My son will be 10 in a year and is on the countdown to dive training. He sounds very similar to your son. Good luck.

The FACT remains that Florida has a pot of money to spend to promote tourism. Keeping in mind that the vast majority of the state is unaffected right now and has been unaffected for 67 days - should the state not promote tourism? Predictions are what they are. Whether it's the federal...
