The nearly full moon rises at 6pm on Friday and we'll be there to greet it in our scuba gear. We're diving the famous Yellow Brick Road as the sun sets. You've heard about this incredible site, now you can visit it and enjoy its wonders just off the beach in Hollywood. Once a path through the reefs for an outfall pipe, this structure now serves as habitat for in incredible diversity of marine life, including reef fish, tropical species, shark, rays, lobster, and countless others. Larger fish traverse the area in their circuits north and south, so expect to see tarpon, amber jack, mackeral, and small tuna.
We'll meet in the grassy patch in front of the bandshell on the Broadwalk on Johnson St. You can drop your gear with the team and park in the Margaritaville parking garage or nearby for a reasonable fee. After a short briefing, we'll wade into the surf and swim the few meters past the surf to the first reef line. The Yellow Brick Road starts about there but because it is a narrow entry, we'll have some veteran divers lead the way.
After the dive, we have our choice of Broadwalk taverns, cafes, or Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, to decompress and tell dive stories.
