Dive Report 5 May











RETURN OF FROGGIE - THE SEQUEL. No kidding, the frogfish that Carrie so carefully moved to a spot away from the beach to safeguard it, was right back today at the same spot from which she removed it. There was a batfish, a bandtail searobin, and an octopus hiding in a bottle. The water was between seventy-seven and seventy-nine on my computer; I checked it several times. In a 5mm suit and 3mm hooded vest I was quite comfortable for the entire one hour, eighteen minute dive. The vis was again about ten feet, a little more in some areas, a little less in others. The sky was sunny and the air temperature was about eighty-five. It's so nice to get out in the warm weather. Our two students were chilled at the end of the dive. Both were in 3mm full suits. Nevertheless, there are two more divers who have seen a frogfish. How many cans say that? Get in the water, Ham (On Sunday, May 16 the Jupiter Drift Divers are doing a bridge dive followed by a picnic. The high tide is at 10:37 so if you are there by a little after nine o'clock, you can leisurely gear up for the dive. Come join this fun group of folks.)
