Anyone shooting out of the Panama City or Destin area Thanksgiving weekend? Looking for 2 spots, have bucks for gas. What has the vis and temp been lately?

Any advice on good spearfish charters would also be appreciated.

Try Panama City Dive Center. They charter a boat called the Doubletime. We used them 2 weeks ago and did ok considering we coulnt get out very far due to high seas

Thanks, the weather doesn't look good, but I've got to get wet.

Tried to escape for a long weekend guys trip, but couldn't get a yard pass, so I figured a family trip with a day dive mixed in would be the best of both worlds.

For Destin:

Bottom temp has been steady in the low 70s for several weeks, but a cold snap started yesterday (37F this morning).

Viz depends on the dive site. On Saturday (22 Nov) we had 30ft viz 12 miles out, and 10ft viz 5 miles out.

Shooting was good, though:
