The water temperature was seventy-five degrees today for our one hour, twenty minutes dive under the little east bridge. The vis was only about ten to fifteen feet, but there were scores of spadefish and bermuda chub to meet us. A nice school of about a dozen snook were hanging around the little wreck that is just to the east of the sailboat wreck. One diver in our group of three saw two octopi; my eyes are getting old because I missed them. We all saw the shortnose batfish though and a small sharptail eel. The two divers with me were wearing only 3mm suits and were not cold after our one hour plus dive. In my 5mm I was absolutely toasty and seriously considering switching to my 3mm. Carrie took a young student on a Discover Scuba dive for 55 minutes. He was wearing a 3mm suit and a shorty. He was very comfortable. It was a nice day for diving at the bridge.
