Just a few quick headlines from around Florida:

Shipwreck Divers Find Antique Gold Chain Off Florida Coast
- sometimes it pays to dive.

Lionfish for Lunch
- now there’s a cookbook – surely they won’t survive that – lord knows the cod didn’t.

And finally – Fort Lauderdale turns 100 today
- it doesn’t look a day over 50.

Every time I look at the Surf Widget and it’s telling me ‘poor conditions’, I have to laugh. After all, it’s only poor conditions if you’re surfing. If you’re diving, it’s great.

Life is so much about perspective, don’t you think?

We’re happy to report that ScubaBrett22 (also known as Lionfish Slayer) took it upon himself to slay that interloper after the picture and here’s the video to prove it:

Thank you Brett – now, that’s a true Pier cleanup.
