Dive Report 8 December


Winter is coming! Seventy-three degree water temperature at the bridge today. The two degree difference from yesterday was noticeable pretty quickly, but with a 5mm suit and a 3mm vest with a 5mm hood, I was comfortable for the one hour, thirteen minute dive time. Our refresher student got to see a BIG southern ray on the way to the new wreck (cold water did not bother him), two beautiful shortnose batfish, a medium-sized bandtail searobin, and a couple of striped burrfish that looked cold. The vis was quite a bit shorter than it was yesterday, too, about 10' to 15'. Nevertheless, it is always a wonderful dive if we know how to look. Get in the water, Ham
