Palm Beach Gardens Getaway: Where to Stay, Eat & Play Join us as we explore Palm Beach Gardens and the surrounding area for great places to stay, eat, and play! Where We Stayed: Hilton Singer Island Oceanfront Resort We stayed at the newly renovated Hilton Singer Island Oceanfront Resort. The beach is beautiful, the service was excellent, and the beach was full of shells. Dining Highlights: Carmine's Italian Market Trattoria – Happy Hour Hotspot Come early—this place fills up fast! Enjoy fabulous food and drinks while you people-watch from one of the busiest (and best) spots in town. Carmine's La Trattoria Cooper's Hawk Winery – Wine Tasting & Dinner We did a blind tasting of eight wines (four red, four white) and confirmed—we're not sommeliers! Still, we had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant Berry Fresh Café – Perfect for Breakfast Especially great with kids! The coffee is strong, the smoothies are fresh, and the breakfast portions are generous—easily sharable. Berry Fresh Café UTiki Beach – A Lively Last Night Located on the causeway, UTiki is a fun outdoor restaurant and Tiki bar. The fresh martinis come with a local flair, and although it gets loud, it's a great way to wrap up your stay in Palm Beach. Trip Highlight: Glass-Bottom Kayak Tour to Peanut Island The highlight of the trip was taking a glass-bottom kayak tour to Peanut Island! Follow a knowledgeable Florida native guide from Blue Heron Bridge at Phil Foster Park to Peanut Island Park. Along the way, you'll have a chance to see manatees, stingrays, starfish, sea turtles, and lots of very large iguanas —all from the comfort of your clear-bottom kayak. https://paddleparadisefl.com

Madalen Howard of Coral Restoration Foundation™ explains the entire process of massive scale coral reef restoration. She breaks down how CRF™ utilizes corals' ability to asexually reproduce to raise thousands of reef-ready corals in offshore Coral Tree™ nurseries, and how volunteers, staff, and interns have made this work possible. Because of divers like you CRF™ has returned over 215,000 endangered corals to the wild, restoring over 34,000 sq m of reef habitat! Finally, Madalen directly answers the big question in the room: Does coral reef restoration really work and will it actually help? Video credits: The vast majority of this (truly amazing) footage was kindly provided by Alexander Neufeld of Coral Restoration Foundation. VERY BIG thank you!

Plastic Free July is a global initiative started in Western Australia in 2011. It is easy to participate. Just pick one plastic item to avoid in July and beyond. REEF is conducting a Fishinar titled Adventures under the Blue Heron Bridge. This is an absolutely amazing shore dive and you can find many unique species at the bridge. Did you know that you can buy a wallet or sneakers made from lionfish leather? Inversa is producing leather made from lionfish skin. The Great Shark Snapshot is just around the corner. The Shark Trust is asking that divers record all sightings of sharks, rays, and skates between July 24 and 31, 2022. PADI Club is sponsoring an exclusive trip to the Florida Keys for club members. The trip runs between September 3 through 9. You'll make your way from Key Largo to Key West. The trip is limited to 60 club members. The Atlantic Right Whales are staying in Cape Cod Bay 18 days longer than in the past. This presents some challenges with increased boat traffic as well as lobster fishing. Single-use plastic accounts for about 40% of all plastic produced. Used once, these pollutants enter our environment. Here are the top 10 single-use plastics according to the World Wildlife Fund from Australia: Plastic straws Plastic drink stirrers Plastic balloons and balloon sticks Plastic cotton buds (cue-tips) Coffee cups Coffee cup lids Plastic cutlery Plastic drink cups Take out food containers Plastic disposable plates
Divers Alert Network has released a special edition of Alert Diver Magazine. This year-end special edition is a compilation of some of their best articles. This is a great reference. According to the Alaska Daily News, there has been a successful clean up effort in Dutch Harbor where they have removed over 1 million pounds of old fishing net and line. Divers Alert Network has funded a study with Duke Center for Hyperbaric Medicine to research the safety of Full Face Snorkel masks. They have recently released their results. The December issue of Scuba Diving Magazine is now available. The December issue is their gear guide edition. Check it out. A couple of paddle boarders out in CA were treated to an encounter with a very large Mola Mola - the ocean sunfish. The Blue Heron Bridge in Riviera Beach, FL is definitely a bucket list dive. Just off of Interstate 95 and just north of West Palm Beach it is easy to get to and easy to park and set up your gear. You can pick up tanks, weights, and a dive flag from Force-E dive center just minutes from the bridge. Diving is from the Phil Foster Park. The park has a full bathroom along with an outdoor fresh water shower to rinse the sand and salt from your gear. Your dive should start 30 to 45 minutes before high slack tide. You will get in at least a 90 minuted dive where you will see all kinds of fish and critters. With water temperatures in the 80s and visibility between 50 to 70 feet, you will love this dive. The Blue Heron Bridge is most definitely a place that you will want to dive multiple times and even get in a night dive.
