I moved from pensacola to jacksonville about three years ago but , when I was there I would go spearing or freediving twice a
week the viz isn't as bad as some people say .Even as far west as orange beach Alabama the viz can be 10ft+,and every year for about 4 to 5 days the viz gets to 20ft+.I dove the Alabama point bridge 2 of those days the deepest part of the bridge is about 55ft and I could lay on my back and see the bottom of the top piling of the bridge(it's about level with the surface at high tide).I wasn't as serious about freediving then but I did a lot of deep snokeling lol!!! Basicly the viz there depends mainly on what the wind is doing and how long it's been since it rained.when the wind is offshore and there is no surf it can be super. I still go back there and visit family and friends so I will try to get some uw photos to show you .I posted a pic of some fish i shot in the fish/photo section and the viz was pretty good in about 15ft i could see about 10ft down so I'd say it could be what your looking for .It may be cheaper than the keys . |

I think the Tampa boys are going to be handing it to everyone from around the SE US and finally establish where the best shooters are from. Rob and Les will stand in awe of the coolers surrounding them, even with their morphed 20# hogfish.
That's all right. I read today the prize table was now over $25,000 for the Spearboard Tournament, so there should still be good stuff around after the Tampa crowd take their turn. Last edited by Steel Slinger; May 6th, 2004 at 02:39. |
