They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport".
Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage.
Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure.

We flew in to Miami from Jamaica yesterday afternoon, a few hours ahead of the storm. Got out and on our way just in time to land in Atlanta last night. Looks like Florida got pounded after we left.

My question: how soon after a CAT 1 Hurricane/Tropical Storm passes would the diving be back to normal (Visibility/Surge/Chop etc) ? I'm an 8-10 hr drive from the keys and I don't want to waste the gas if the diving is going to suck......but I am Jonesing to get wet. I've been looking forward to hitting some wrecks this trip.
Looking at the predictions now, couple-3 days
Thanks - I think I'll head down Thursday - Dive Friday evening

So is it doable or should I just wait
