Gorgeous day at the bridge! The visibility was forty feet; what a difference from Friday! We could see the the shadow of a set of pilings from another set; that is 100'. The water temperature returned to summer norms at eighty-four by the channel and eighty-six off the beach. Hogfish juveniles and intermediates were abundant. Never ceasing to amaze me, the bridge dive included a butter hamlet. I have never seen a hamlet here before. They are common offshore, but this was a first here. A polkadot batfish was at the channel tolerating divers who could not help but gawk. We are looking at Sunday, August 24 for the next bridge get-together with a 3:16 high tide. Get in the water; summer diving conditions are at their finest! Ham
