Manatee sighting AGAIN! The same two open water students who got to snorkel with manatees yesterday got to see one on scuba today! The water was crystal clear! The vis had to be fifty feet. The water temperature was seventy-two. We were in the water for one hour, fifteen minutes; in a 5mm wetsuit with a 3mm hooded vest I was comfortable. My students were again in double 3mm wetsuits and quite comfortable for the entire dive. A friend accompanying us was in a 3mm wetsuit. He said he started to feel chilled after fifty minutes. But for the critters we saw a little chill was a small price to pay. Fabulous day at the bridge for a 7:42 high tide. We watched the sun come up and by the time we were geared up it was just before high tide. What a way to start the day! MANATEES! WOW! Get in the water, Ham
