Ft.Pickens Dive Report 4/3/11

[sontek]

It is officially scuba season, we arrived at 8:30 to see about 25-30 students getting their gear together. MBT and Dive Pros both had classes going on.

We saw the usual suspects Grouper, Sheepshead, Arrowcrabs, Blennys, etc but also stumbled upon a dead baby shark. He was pretty fresh so I assume a fisherman had just thrown him back.

Anyone know what kind it is?

The vis was probably 25-30ft for the first 15ft when you could find a section that didn't have students in it, 5-10ft otherwise. The vis got worse as you got deeper since there wasn't much sunlight out yet.

We also found a couple batfish, which are one of my favorite fish!

Water temp was 70 degrees at the rocket launcher.

The autolevels didn't work very well there. You should try creating a fill/adjustment layer with levels and adjust them manually :cool2:
