It was a five-wow dive for several divers as some incredible critters were observed! Carrie and two Discover Scuba students saw a striated frogfish! Uncommon in Florida! Several divers and snorkelers saw a big manatee that swam south about ten feet from the seawall. Magnificent beast. One snorkeler just about jumped out of the water. The water temperature was eighty-one and the vis was ten to fifteen feet depending on how many divers one was following and how closely. It can be crowded on a Sunday. But to see a frogfish and a manatee at the Blue Heron Boulevard Bridge - Wow! Worth the short vis. We picnicked as long as Mother Nature would allow. Typical summer pattern: nice clear morning, building heat and clouds, thunderstorms in the afternoon. We had pretty much just finished eating when the light show and fresh water rinse started. Thanks to everyone who came. Thanks for bringing goodies. It is always a joy to see everyone, especially those we have not seen for awhile. Hope to see you all next time which will be Sunday, July 20 for a 10:23 high tide. What a great day it was! Ham
