Anglin’s Pier, Lauderdale by the Sea

Scuba diver with grappling hook found underwater

How do you describe a dive with low visibility, lots of trash in the water, rough conditions and a less than graceful exit from the water…? It was great!

Andre and I ran across several old friends on the reef, including a small moray eel and a humongous scorpion fish, plus a ton of angelfish. The angels were all there: queens, french, and greys. The only angels missing were the rock beauties.

We gathered plastic and paper garbage as we could, but the winner of the day was a dangerous grappling hook that André found. If you’re going out, be careful, the jellies were all around.

Unfortunately the surge on top of the reef was terrible and conditions on shore had deteriorated to the point it was a messy exit. Regardless, it was a great day diving with our gay scuba club.
