Dive Report 10 June


I'm a day late, but here is what we had on Wednesday. REAL GREEN water. It was perfect for what my junior advanced open water student and I had to do, compass work. With the vis only six or eight feet our compass work had to be pretty close to hit the sailboat wreck which is 230 degrees from the beach close to the swimming area. We hit it! The water was a little clearer out by the channel where we did our bag and reel practice as well as alternate air source ascents. A striated frogfish was at the north end of the canyon. We watched it try to catch its lunch using its lure. The sailfish blennies entertained us as well. (Reports from offshore were that the vis at Tunnels was five feet or so. At Area 51 today, Thursday, June 11, we had sixty to seventy feet of vis. At Scarface we had fifty to sixty feet.) What a difference twenty-four hours can make! We don't know unless we go. Water temperature at the bridge and offshore today was seventy-nine. Get in the water, Ham.
