This is breaking my heart. I so want to dive, but my threshold for cold tolerance is set at 72 degrees, springs temperature, and even then, the maximum wet time I can stand is 20-25 minutes. Darn it!!!!

Wow, when the the water up here gets to the high 60s we break out Champagne. Can't wait to get down there!

There's a group of four of us from my shop who are planning to road trip down in either late feb or early march. We're getting together sometime in the next week to work out our schedules. BHB is definitely one of the sites on my list, along with the shore diving in Jupiter and West Palm area.
Let us know as your plans firm up...

On this Sunday the 9th, Halcyon and GUE are doing a demo day at BHB...The demo should start around 10am...there will be Halcyon scooters you can try out, backplate and wings to try, canister lights, a fairly long list of things that could be fun for you to try. You need drivers license and c-card, that's it. There will also be a "Tooka" that Brownies is will have on demo--this is kind of like the 3rd lung concept of a hooka, but this has no engine on top, but tanks in a tiny raft instead. The tooka is supposed to be kind of the ultimate " Discover Diving" device, as people who have never dove before can experience this so easily and without concerns.
I will be there helping....I drive the Red Ford Raptor...please come by and enjoy trying some of the dive toys!

Thanks! I've printed it out. Hoping to get down to the east side sometime. Wandered into the "swimming" area during my three day trip after xmas and learnt that you can hear someone hollering at you from under water.
Whilst wandering about off the beach in the shopping cart area, I *think* I've learned that the green stuff that was growing on the bottom in September is mostly gone when the water temperature is at 68 - no?
Took lots of photos, but still slogging through the "post-processing". I've done a grand total of four dives at BHB now, but I'm not sure that I can agree that you don't see amazing stuff practically every few minutes down there! Maybe I'm just easily entertained.
I tried out the video on my latest Digital Rebel while doing the bridge dives and posted some of my first tries on my YouTube page, but while there I looked through a ton of BHB videos (it's absolutely amazing how YouTube is currently exploding) and I'm afraid I'd be embarrassed to have my stuff seen and compared to a lot of the amazing videos that're already there. I'm just going to keep getting more and more addicted to diving there. . .
Thanks to all the folks who have posted their videos there. It's neat that you can "subscribe" to them.

Y does everyone let their guages and octos hang? I don't get it. And laying all over the place disturbing the environment. Isn't that taught not to do in training?
