Seventy-five degree water, twenty feet or more of vis and a bright, sunny day made for a very nice fifty-three minute dive under the big bridge. Carrie and I had three Discover Scuba students who took to SCUBA readily and enjoyed seeing the fish and critters Blue Heron has to offer. Carrie and I were in 5mm suits and very comfortable. Our students were in 3mm suits and chilled at the end of the dive. The batfish was by the second set of pilings on the south side of the bridge. A big sharptail eel foraged for its breakfast at the third set of pilings. There were fewer than twenty divers total on this gorgeous, summer-like morning. Getting out of the water in an eighty-degree air temperature was very nice and very un-February-like. Tomorrow, Saturday, February 25 ought to be fabulous; the cold front is forecast to arrive in the afternoon, AFTER the slack high tide.
Get in the water (before the cold front arrives), Ham
(PS - Sunday is the bridge picnic for the Jupiter Drift Divers club; bring a jacket.)
