A quadruple wow dive! We had forty to fifty feet of vis under the big bridge in eighty-four degree water. I had open water students on their first saltwater dive. A couple of medium-sized southern rays gently flew by with many of the other regulars. At the end of the dive just to the south of the first off-the-beach wreck we had a big manatee swim by us in no hurry. It was so close I could have petted it as it passed! My kids (and certainly me) went nuts! Of the many dives I have made at the bridge this is only the second time I have seen the manatees so close. What a thrill. Get in the water, Ham
