Looking for a buddy, maybe someone knowledgeable for diving the jetties at St. Andrews. Might do some boat dives as well.

Can’t be ur buddy but I can gv u a heads up. Make sure you know the tides and the currents. Most of the local dive operations can help keep you out of the washing machine it becomes when the tide is changing. Divers Den and Dive Locker are both nearby and helpful. Gorgeous dive in the right conditions and great snorkeling too. Enjoy your week. I’m jealous! :)

I might be able to come over from Tallahassee. Let me get back to you later today, have to run right now.

never dove the jetties, but would love to try it. Did do a boat dive on the Red Sea and Hathaway span #11. That was about a year ago. Lots of wreck dives off PC, but I’m not the PC expert. Think they recently dropped some jet fighters off the coast there, somewhere. Don’t know if there are any good shore dives over there, either. Anyway, will get back to you, in the meantime, maybe a PC expert will come forward.

Thanks for the heads up Penny, that is why I was looking for someone experienced in the area.

No hurry Stephen, not leaving for over a week.

Sounds good. We can firm up plans a bit later, but should be available for at least some of your stay. I am trying to get my sailboat back in the water this week, after a 3 month rejuvination on the hard.

There are some good dive shops in Pc that can be helpful.

I may be able to go. Tides are tricky on St Andrews. Better the weekend after with a buddy of mine.
