Is there any beach diving off Boca Raton? pm me if you know.
hau, do you sit it out in the yak or keep diving?
-
Really HAU, I didn't get that bad of weather today.
Was out from 10am until 3pm.
I got some rain and wind but nothing crazy.
Went put shore diving swimming out with a friend.
Lots of life on the reef, got a few reef fish.I'll post more later.
FYI,
Pursuit fins are amazing. -
how far do you guys go out? I beach dive and have been out to about 25 feet... is that far enough or should i keep swimming? im not tired at that point at all and usually stay out there for 2-3 hours, but if I need to continue further out next time I will. Im hoping to go out friday around noon and any help is appreciated

LOMartin---today we lucked out and had good weather where we were but there were storms to the West of us with lightening and rain and dark clouds south of us which reminded me of summers storm precautions. I just wanted to caution possible less experienced spearos to be on the lookout for dangerous weather this summer.
mrmike--I do not know exactly where it is that you spear but from Dania Pier down to Summit St. there is a nice reef within swimming distance from shore
Dan--there are a lot of varibles that determinne how I respond to threatening weather. If I do get caught out there in a summer storm I stay in the water

mrmike--
Yeah good stuff.
it could be scary out there when the down pour starts.
-
LOMartin---you are correct.
2 summers ago I got caught out on the 2nd reef by a summer storm.
The wind, rain, hail and high seas made it so bad that I couldn't see which way shore was.:@
That was my last yak dive WITHOUT a compass mounted on my yak and 300f of 250lb anchor line:) -

I dive anywhere from atlantic blvd area (pompano pier) to as far south as 27th street thats the farthest south ive been so far... we see lots of hogs, some mackerel, an occasional snapper and grouper. and there have been 2 big black margate cruising the south side of commercial pier (datura st) oh and the other day when i went out without a spear the triggers (2-3 of them) were within arms reach, bastards were mocking me. 27th street is my latest area ive been checking out thats where I met steven and found out about this site. I should be going there tomorrow ill let you guys know how it goes, oh and it will be my first trip out with the ray odor polespear

Went out of Vista today around 2pm. Viz was horrible, plankton bloom on the top blocked me from seeing anything below. Would have stayed, but the 5mph current made me head back to shore after I got tired fighting it.
