Still trying to google for best tide chart. Question: at Destin jetties it is best to try and dive when tide is at least .6 - the higher the better. Same for PCB?

And is it best to go right at tide or a little bit prior?

Thanks guys so much for helping me!!

Gidget, Here is a link to the tides : Tide Region Selection, just click on the Fla. Gulf Coast and go from there.

The destin jetties is a tough walk, St. Andrew is not bad at all.

Also, here is a good link to read up on the local diving stuff:

Any charters that will take you to snorkel some of the wrecks? We have kids and have done the Destin jetties snorkeling and that ok, but not a whole lot to see. I would love for them to have a better experience.

St. Andrew Bay

• St. Andrew Bay Channel entrance
• Panama City
• Panama City Beach (outside)

So which of these would I pick in order to get tide for jetties? The first one?

Thanks so much and btw, is that a pic of you diving at Pennekamp?? Did you dive Molasses Reef? It is my fav!

St. Andrew Bay

That is me at the Chirst of the Deep.

This pic is of a Goliath Grouper taken off the #14 bridge span. Not a great pic because the fish was moving away!!!

We did Molasses Reef, key largo dry rocks, Benwood,snapper ledge, pickles reef. We did molasses reef two days, really like it also.

Not that I know of, but you may try the shell island boat trips, thats good snorkling and kids get a lot of shells!

I've got a new video upcoming, probably to be put on sowal by tomorrow. I'm waiting to see about putting an audio track on it.

Anyway, look at it and see if you like what you see. I'm sure you'll agree, there is plenty to see in the Gulf. I'd sure like to learn more about the various underwater opportunities out there, but what I've seen so far is top flight.

The new video will be called 'The Gulf Is Alive and is the latest video in my 'Another Walk with Mike' series.

Be sure to check it out and tell me what you think. I put the videos under the thread catagory, Nature/Environment and in my blog.

I LOVE the video and also the latest you posted the other day!!! I can't tell where the heck you are because when I go out I see NADA in the gulf. Ok a few little fish, but NO octopi, etc.... nothing exotic. You need to be a tour guide!

Meanwhile, I snorkeled the PCB jetties. It was so funny because this guy told me that it was the same on the kiddie pool side as on the other side. NOT SO! I saw moray eel, angel fish, grouper, barracuda, and I am sure had I started on that side I would have seen more. I should have re-read these posts prior to going. BUT now I know the tide chart, etc... and plan on going again.

Thanks again all for the info.

Here's a snapshot of yours truly having a great relaxing time at PCB Jetties

Fun to play with these programs btw
