12.14.08 - Blue Heron Bridge Dive

Hello everyone.

Sunday, December 15 finds the Video Dude and Scuba Goddess Terri returning to the Blue Heron Bridge to shoot some more video of the critters there. It was a much warmer day than yesterday with temps in the low 70s, but it was still very breezy. Today we are joined by fellow ScubaBoarder Dave (Wormil) and there are several Open Water classes here as well.

High tide today is 9:21am, so we get a head start on the dive by jumping in around 8:50am. The current was still moving a little, but it was manageable until it died completely at slack tide. Lots and lots of critters about today. Moon Jellyfish, Sheepshead, Starfish of all varieties, a Sand Dollar, Horseshoe Crabs, File Fish, Arrow Crabs, an Octopus, Red Batfish, Flounder, a Sea Cucumber, two types of Pufferfish, Spadefish, a Yellow Stingray and a Batfish! Quite a full day of critters and we only dove for an hour and a half!

Water temp was around 70 degrees and visibility during slack tide was about 30ft. It was an extremely enjoyable, lazy dive and WE LOVED IT!!!

Diving is Great in Paradise!
