Took the class out to Navarre Pier today for their first certification dives. Knot a Yacht tagged along to try out some new gear. The wind was out of the east, and the surf was waist high. By 9:00am the east wind swung out of the southeast, and the surf started to pick up. The visibility was nice for a beach dive at 20-30ft, and the water temp was mid 60's. by the end of the day the surfers outnumbered the divers which is never a good sign, so we called it until tomorrow. Heading to the springs for a nice easy surf free dive day.
I wasn't hatin on the surfers. I was just saying that when the surf around here gets big enough to draw the surfers, it's time to put the gear down and pick up a board.
Saw tons of bait around the pier and a few red fish.
Yep, had to try out the new BC and computer. Everything worked like a charm. Viz was decent when we got there and just went down hill by the time we were coming up. The waves kicked my a$$ in the break zone coming in. Saw schools of blue fish everywhere.
Thanks again for taking the tanks back for me Rich. It saved me an hour of driving time.
