We figured the one place a million divers wouldn't be today was at the bridge and we were right! On such a gorgeous day for diving there were a few divers at the bridge who weren't caught up in lobster lunacy, and we saw only one diver under the east bridge while we were there. Sandy, two young recent advanced open water graduates, and I swam around the swimming area rather than carry our gear down the beach. We were rewarded with a flying gurnard and a striated frogfish. Further toward the east bridge we saw the tiniest blue angelfish juvenile I have ever seen in the little wreck that is just off the beach. Under the bridge were the usual snook, atlantic spadefish, gray and french angelfish, a sharptail eel, and the last three lobsters in southern Florida. Near the western seawall we found another striated frogfish and sharptail eel. While under the bridge in a sandy spot the boys practiced shooting a bag using a reel. I believe all advanced divers should be shooting bags offshore, at least from the safety stop. These kids know how. What a great place to practice skills and see incredible marine life. Our dive time was one hour, twenty-four minutes in eighty-six degree water with twenty feet of vis. The boys and I didn't wear wetsuits; we were very comfortable. Get in the water, Ham
