I dove once in a place like that in Venezuela. Was FULL of fish. I got out from the water when I saw a condom floating besides me. :@

I got hepatytis two week later...

That really sucks Marco, sorry to hear that.

Dan--I don't know.
I was researching ideas on how to better forecast what the water viz in my area might be and came across this video of the "Hollywood Florida Outflow Pipe".
The Hollywood Pipe is just 1 of 4 pipes that I know of in my area.
These sewer pipes and the near shore current and the tides waters in and out of the inlets are contributing factors to the viz in my area.
I would like to learn the EXACT locations of these sewer pipes exit ends if anyone has the numbers please.

Hau after I saw this I begin looking diligently for information on these types of outfall sites. The EPA has a plethora of information on there site but it is impossible to navigate and find anything. Then I stumbled on this while looking for information on deep injection wells for school which is one method used to deal with waste water.

The water they inject into wells is actually treated to a high level to avoid contamination of the ground water supply. But the outfall from that pipe does not seem to be well treated at all, but I might be wrong. I did not get to read through it but I hope it helps a little if you have not found anything. As far as I am concerned these sort of things are the closest thing to rape on the environment and I have to admit I was very ignorant to the fact that this level of pollution existed in this area.

So, we are actually relying on the waste water treatment facilities to police themselves as to whether the discharge has been properly treated, primarily and secondarily, to be released into the ocean? So, the way I read it, they have left themselves an out. Typical. :laughing3:

what kind of fish is that hau? looks like a cubera

it is

Looks like a mangrove to me.

sounds good

that's what i asked a few posts ago, huge mango or baby cube?

looks like a nice mango to me.

Bummer, thanks for doing this research Hau, those pipes are disgusting and I dont want to be anywhere near them :@

Ahh don't be so dainty People actually dive those, I've tried diving it too but couldn't find the pipe because the vis was bad both times. I did find the ledge it comes out of though. There's some big fish to be had there sometimes according to some of the local divers.

I don't believe the pipes are what's controlling the vis. I'm with you on trying to find what is. The reason I don't think it's the pipes is because of some conditions that I've witnessed. You guys never go out of the inlets so you don't see it. I think vis has more to do with currents that either bring clean water in from further out, or don't. My guess is that as a rule the vis here is mediocre. It can become worse by winds creating waves and churning up the bottom, and/or outflow from the inlets. It can become better if currents bring in clean water from offshore.

I think the vis issue is very important and deserves a thread by itself. Here's the new thread http://spearfishing.world/flor…a-visibility-factors.html
