Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

[iluvtheocean]

depending on the time(s) i go up to the bridge - might end up using them to rent a tank from to cut down on extra driving and fuel costs.
unless someone has a better suggestion? i can't afford my own tank at the moment for various reasons. (unless i can find a used one for less than $100 that's in hydro & and can pass inspection - even an 80AL - i don't trust EBAY for tanks unless i know who i'm buying from.)

I drove over to the bridge early thursday and saw a variety of water conditions ranging from a greenish blue
to a very dark brackish color. There was an easy two foot chop within the inner-coastal so not only stirred up
water with the incoming tide but also a little bit of stirring up from the chop within the ICW.

I read here on scubaboard of a place in southern Broward County that hydro tests tanks and sells them, sometimes advertising on craigslist. I think it is him that has a couple of aluminum tanks now on craigslist for $100. each. Anyway it sounded like an honorable place. I have not bought anything from him or met the seller.

Anyone go over to the bridge today? Thinking about diving it tomorrow.

Yea I'm heading over there tomorrow morning before work to check it out, am I crazy for thinking I can try to get a dive in?

Although you never know, I really doubt it will be dive-able. You might want to check with Dan Volker to see if he knows, as he lives in Lake Worth. I just bought a new camera system and am itching to dive with it again, but even I am not going to try it this weekend.

Its a weekend for relaxing and posting on the Board!

Call Force E on Blue Heron Blvd or Pura Vida on Singer Island for a BHB report.

Jim they say the vis is Junk, my buddy stopped by there this morning (Force E). However they are doing some classes there tomorrow regardless as they've had to cancel for a while (This is what I heard). Conditions will be junk but I'm dying to get into the water even so. Will be fun practice.

0 Vis. I have no idea how the guys carved Pumpkins. You couldn't even see your computer right up to your face. I assume it'll be out of commission for a few weeks.. Felt amazing to hit the water first thing in the AM but definitely no diving there.

We were out there this morning for an UW pumpkin carving contest, the viz is about 6" if not a little less. It took two of us to carve a pumpkin, one to cut the other to try and hold the pumpkin and not being able to see your partner across from you. All done in the first 4' of the water column as the further you went down was just dark. The water level is up pretty high. The guard house had water up to just under the deck and the 2 picnic table were sitting in the water also. A boat was partlally sunk where the boat ramp is along with the docks over there.
