Despite a strong north wind that created one to two feet of whitecaps on the Intracoastal, we had twenty feet of vis in seventy-one degree water. The surge was very strong and good practice for my open water student who got to experience the movement on the bottom and the importance of turning one's back to the sea upon surfacing. We had very realistic ocean-like (calm ocean, but ocean nevertheless) conditions. The shortnose batfish, web burrfish, and the gorgeous little spotfin butterflyfish were all there to entertain us. The only wreck that has been removed is the one that was closest to the beach. We visited the others. Get in the water, Ham
