We did not have sweetheart conditions today. It's winter, and then some, with a water temperature of sixty-eight and vis of six feet, maybe. An open water student and I were working on skills so we didn't really need to do a regular dive. With six feet of vis navigation even just off the beach was challenging. The air temperature was forty-six when we entered the water at about 7:50. I wore my drysuit and was glad to have it. I would not have lasted long in a 5mm suit and a 3mm hooded vest. Getting out of the water we were met by a significant breeze. That is the tough part of winter diving in wet suits. Friends who joined us wearing 7mm suits did pretty well until they took them off up by the picnic tables. It's not for sissies! It will probably take a few days for the water to calm down enough to give us decent vis. I will be at the bridge on Wednesday and I'll let you know how it goes. You didn't miss anything at the bridge today if you opted to view the implosion of the building at 1515 Flagler Drive. Observers on the bridge said they could see the dust cloud!
