Dive Report 26 August

Warm water at the bridge today; too hot for a wetsuit! At between 86 and 88 degrees the water is just too warm for a wetsuit. The recent torrential downpours in the mornings and afternoons have contributed to relatively short vis. It was only about ten feet today and sort of green. I was working with a refresher student while Carrie and a friend poked around looking for the elusive frogfish. Some friends diving under the east bridge said they saw two over there, but under the big bridge we saw none. We did encounter a batfish though by the sailboat wreck under the pontoon platform. There seemed to be many gray angelfish of all stages among the pilings. Beautiful day at the bridge; just have to watch out to not be sun-burned. Get in the water, Ham
