Dive Report 8 May


The water temperature was eighty-one! It's time to get back in if you've been waiting for the eighties. We had great vis, too. Twenty feet plus even with the weekend hoards of students. It is still octopus week as we saw six or seven, in one place two together. A batfish was out by the "upside-down wreck". There are many little lobsters in the "canyon". We've been watching juvenile highhats that can't be more than a sixteenth of an inch long, maybe a thirty-second; they are exceptionally tiny. The tough part about getting out of the water on the weekend is the smell of all the food on the grills. I'm already hungry and then to be subjected to wonderful picnic smells. Wow! (Remember the Jupiter Drift Divers picnic on next Sunday, May 16.) My two students were in 3mm full suits for our one hour twenty-seven minute dive. They were comfortable in the warm water. Get in the water, Ham
