Eighty-two degree water was four degrees cooler than our last dive at the bridge a couple of days ago, but we were still very comfortable in dive skins for our one hour, eleven minute dive. Vis was a little better than last time at twenty feet and better in some places. The water is mixing though as we could see shimmers from time to time and noted slight temperature changes along with vis changes. Nevertheless, the conditions made for a very pleasant dive with our young Discover Scuba participant who took the accompanying picture of the batfish. The octopus photo is mine as I almost always go to the pipe to say hello. We didn't have time to look for the yellow garden eel as I mistakenly told our young diver's parents that we would be out of the water at 9:30; we could have easily gone on for another fifteen or twenty minutes, but I didn't want to keep parents waiting. The Jupiter Drift Divers are sponsoring a picnic after the bridge dive this Saturday. High tide is at 11:15 so we will plan on entering the water at about 10:30. I have an open water student to whom I will be introducing the wonders at the bridge! Then it's on to burgers and dogs! Come meet the folks who participate in this very active dive club. Get in the water, Ham
