Destin/FWB
Heading to Destin for Thanksgiving week. My wife's family rented a house out and I will be looking to slip out and get the fins wet Nov 22-24th if anyone local or in the area at that time needs a dive buddy (not sure if I will be able to get my wife up early to dive with me on vacation, especially if it is cold). As of now, the plan is to spearfish by shore or rent a kayak, but if someone has a boat and would like another freediver, I would gladly split fuel, ice costs, etc. After doing some online research, I have a few questions if anyone is familiar with the area. I understand the jetties are off limits as well as the main bridge. Are the pilings on the Mid Bay Bridge legal to spearfish? How about the private docks in the bay? I don't expect anyone to give up their secret spots, but if you have any general tips on areas to avoid or places accessible for shore/kayak dives it would be appreciated. Also, any recommendations on a place to rent a kayak would be helpful.

Re: Destin/FWB
Any docks or bridges that do not allow public fishing or swimming are legal. Stop by the shop while you're here for more info and we'll try to point in the fishiest direction!

Re: Destin/FWB
I wondered if Triton was Jon from Benthic. I’m down in Destin a few times a year and discovered Destin Spearfishing Adventures this past summer. Class outfit, and I’m always thinking about the next outing.

Today’s Wednesday. I have my debit card ready for Friday! I’ll be down Dec. 7. If I buy online on Friday can I pick it up in person then?
