Default Destin Dive Report 12-26

Took the family out for our annual winter dive We got to the Pass around 11:00 to find 1' or less ran out around 5 miles jumped in to find 3' or less of vis all the way to the bottom almost ran into the wreck held onto the anchor line so we didn't loose it saw around 6 smaller flounder in just the few seconds it took for us to realize we were wasting our time so we went topside and ran out another 7 miles to find around 25' to 30' of vis we had a great dive hit 95' for around 30 min lots of aj's and of coarse red snapper several around 20 to 30 lbs 1 even had a small remora on it I was the only one spear fishing shot 1 aj and a flounder and headed back to the pass the water laid down to a slight ripple what a great winter day to dive !

Sorry I wasn't trying to be a dick.

You posted "ran out around 5 miles" then "ran out another 7 miles".

My math gets that at 12 miles.

FWC Regs say "State waters extend to 3 nautical miles on the Atlantic and 9 nautical miles on the Gulf."

But what's a mile or two. Glad you got meat, Happy Nude Year!

The way the FWC changes the rules daily for no good reason it's hard to tell if you can keep a fish or not :banghead
