We had a great time. MBT is a fantastic shop and group of people. Apparently conditions in Pensacola this past weekend were as close to perfect as they ever are. We met up at the pyramids but the instructor decided the current was too rough for his students. It’s a 200 yd swim against the current. So we followed them over to the bay to do at least one dive with them. We were going to go back to the pyramids on our own if they didn’t. Well the bay was freezing! 62 degrees. Coldest water I"ve ever been in lol. Not a very long dive and viz in the bay was like 5ft at most haha. But we did get to see the reef balls out there, just wasn’t much life or anything else to see. He then decided to move everyone back over to the pyramids which were awesome! Super clear. Lots of yellow tail, turtles, jelly fish, and little colorful fish on the man made reefs. Much better on that side. Water was about 72. More what I’m used to. That swim out was something else though haha. We called it a day after the second dive. The group of students went out a third time but we just played on the beach instead. Best beach day ever. Here’s one of the turtles we chased :)
