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.

Kyle c---the information from your post above is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you
I have one pipe numbers now and as soon as the weather clears I'll be working on finding the other three pipes in my area.
The "boil" from these outflow pipes is what affects our viz the most I believe.
From what I read, this "boil" is on the surface, can be 800yds wide in a stream that generally flows South to North.
Thanks for the research Kyle c.

btw--the sea is NOT green, it is BROWN with suspended sand after 5 days of 30mph wind
The sea is a very depressing sight out my back door right now

sdeisen--yes sir, thats why I was askin
Especially now that the "hau extra band pin" testing is almost completed

Quote from Dan

Loading will be more uncomfortable.

Two 16mm bands store more energy and provide more power than one 20mm band. The 20mm band is actually 19mm.

You can't power down if you need to.

Most importantly I believe there's a point where increasing the diameter of the band starts to work against efficiency. It almost seems that the 20mm band loses more energy contracting in the water, maybe because it displaces more water. The water disturbance on firing sure seemed greater than with two 16mm bands.

In the end it works as many people use it. But I don't like it. I tried using a 20mm + 16mm for a while but went back to two 16mm.

My sentiments exactly Dan

sdeisen--may I ask WHY you wanted to go with a single band?

Here is a video of the viz forecast for Hollywood, Florida :@

Fletch---Welcome to the best freedivingspearfishing forum ever.
Good spearos here that like to share their knowledge and adventures and help other spearos.

My definition of "Fin Problem"is== being at 60fsw when my POS Omer Ice Blade snaps in two

Dan--thanks for posting the great info about fins

Dan and John Hanson are both 100% correct.
Because I shoot an Enclosed Track RA I HAVE to shoot full size fin shafts. And I have had good luck with Riffe full finned euro shafts so that is what I use.
I would PREFER to use Pursuit spears but they are not available in full finned YET

RA/Tin Man 120 ETPG with 153cm (60in) Riffe 7mm 3 fin spear with 2 16mm Pursuit bands. Tin Man 2 band muzzle w/spike and RA reel with 200f 600lb QPowerline direct rigged reel to spear

sdeisen, fish2400 an me at Meade St today
today was like sdeisen said.
I'm amazed that one of us didn't get severly stung today. By the end of 3 hours in the water I had man o war tentacles trailing off my gun, my anchor line, my fins and my snorkel :@

I freedive spearfish in Miami waters (68F and up)
I use a Speardiver Reef 3mm 2 piece suit.

I have used my Speardiver suit for 47 days spearing from a kayak for a total of 232 hours and my Speardiver suit looks and works like new

Not the first seam has come apart.
Not the first thread has broken
My Speardiver suit is the best spearing suit I have ever owned in 35 years of spearing.
I am 5' 10" tall and 175lbs and my XL Speardiver is a little loose on me (thats exactly the way I like it).
I could go on and on about how good the Speardiver wetsuit is.

seaweed----very nice report bro. Thank you
you are indeed the bug whisper to get good bugs at Meade St. There are A LOT of spearos that go there almost every day and never even see a bug. Great job sir and thank you for the invitation to go spearin with you

sdeisen---very nice picture bro.
And thanks for texting me the spearin progress photos as you were out on the water
I see in the photo that you are sporting a brand new dive watch AND a brand new dive knife. Nice

I wish I could have gone spearin with you guys but I have company from the Keys stayin with me for several days <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Rhodyhunter an me at Meade st today
we both got a small mac each and that is all
today was a beautiful yak freedivingspearfishing day, (except for the rapidly declining viz)
lots of speed boats on the water where we were
saw bait fish jumping and running on the surface just as we were stowing our gear into the yaks to come in
Hope others did much better than us

Thanks Kyle c

attan--the way many of us see it, gun ownership and gun hunting would be outlawed here in the U.S. if it were not for the NRA.
The NRA has lots of money and a huge lobby in Washington with hundreds of NRA employees working everyday to protect the rights of Americans to keep guns and to hunt.
Recreational fishing and spearfishing does NOT have a big lobby or money or a united voice like the NRA to protect us from the fish huggers. The way I look at it is that I am a hunter on land AND in the water. Spearfishing and recreational fishing NEEDS the NRA to protect us from the fish huggers as well as to protect us from the animal huggers.
I could go on and on about this but I think I answered your question about the NRA
Thanks for taking the time to read this

LunkerBuster--Ya mon. My idea of glueing the compass to my yak works great.
I wouldn't dare pull my GPS out in a storm like that for fear of loosing it.
I was very happy when I got close enough that I could see the shore through the rain

The storm pasted about an hour ago and right now looking out the back door the sea is almost flat with 1f beach surf

spearos--how do you like my new signature line?
Thanks Dan

solo today
Today was too rough to go out any deeper than 25fsw
drank a lot of sea water down the snorkel today
seas just kept getting higher and viz just kept getting lower so I just gave up and came in at 330. I wasn't getting any fish anyway
swam for 7 hours an got 8 small fish. 2 hogs (18 and 17in), the rest small dogs and porgies.
had a grouper at least 34in long follow me around the reef for 30min waiting for a free meal
let go of my anchor one time and when it hit the reef what looked like a flounder with blue dots swam away
caught a surprise big wave and yak surfed at least 50yds in to the beach
(the key to successful scupper pro yak surfing is to get all the weight as far rearward as possible or you'll see the scupper nose bury in the bottom of the wave :@ )
