Dive Report 27 July




Conditions are absolutely superb! We had 40' or better of visibility today in 86 degree water. The combination of bright sun, a morning dive, and an uncrowded weekday, all added up to just a glorious day to be there. I was supposed to have an open water student, but he postponed due to a health problem; that meant a goof-off dive for me! A friend came along with me as Carrie introduced a ten-year-old to the Discover Scuba program. We watched a sharptail eel hunt for breakfast and a yellowhead jawfish do the same. A scorpionfish almost nailed a pufferfish for breakfast, but the puffer was too quick. An octopus was standing tall apparently looking for its mid-morning snack. For our one hour, twenty-four minute dive we wore dive skins. It is so nice to not be wearing a wetsuit. Conditions are optimum right now! Get in the water, Ham
