May be interested as well....will have to keep an eye on the conditions. Assuming the conditions are good all week, visibility should be decent....and assuming the surf is fairly minimal on Saturday, I'd be interested (but I must warn you, I suck at making the exit over a rocky terrain, so you'll probably get some decent laughs in!).

I *Might* be interested. I must admit I've really wanted to dive there again, but I REALLY didn't like the rocks. Wouldn't be that bad if teh darn rocks didn't extend so far and so shallow. I would love to dive with a buncha my favorite peeps so that's a plus! We shall see.
I won't commit for sure though as I'll likely also be trying out an entirely new setup next weekend and I'm not too sure how risky I wanna be with a first dive with new/used gear and weighting that's nothing more than an (un)educated guess lol.

Hi Guys,
High tide is going to be at 9:34 AM with a +7ft so it shouldn't be too hard getting in & out. I plan on being there at 7:30 AM. Sideways it's a rocky entry with boulders in your way as you try to float out but at H/T we might be able to avoid most of them. You park at the bottom to the left as far as you can go, gear up there then head to the cove to the left of that. Go to almost the middle of the cove & enter there. Head out to the left out pass the point about 50 yds in front of it & drop down there & after you drop the reef is to the left of there so if I remember correctly you should be heading dew East.

Time sounds great John! As I've never been to this site....where exactly is it at??

Here is a google maps of where it's located. You'll see a sign for White Point / Royal Palms and take a right to go into the park. You have to pay to park....I think it's $2 for the day if you get in there before 9am, and $6 if you get in there afterwards.
I've made one good dive and one bad visibility dive there....I'm pretty sure the exit will be much easier if it's closer to high tide than I've been able to make, but the important thing is that the surf is down. The bigger rocks aren't necessarily stable and tend to shift when you step on them....it's easy to lose your balance. The dive site is fairly shallow (at least in the area I've explored)....maybe 30 feet max, although I can't recall for sure.

Yeah, that's the part I don't like...
Last time I dove there I had a good time but my bad knee hurt for weeks.
I will still stay on the fence on this one for now. Would LOVE to see you all but I'm leaning toward a nice safe site (read: boring lol) where I can test out the BP/W I just bought and try and get my gear/weighting settled.
We shall see...
