In 95, Stacie and I got extremely lucky and went diving on the Sulliod(sp)
off Atlantic Beach.  100ft+ visibility!  We went to two dives that day,
and while waiting for our surface interval to expire, I was floatin on the
surface w just a mask and fins.  About six barracuda stayed close, but
didn't do anything.  The divemaster said they never do, but they still
looked nasty.  I'll probably never get a dive with that kind of visibility
again, but it was a great day.  A big bull shark and sting ray swam
through us too.
