The water temperature was seventy-nine at the east bridge! Vis was about fifteen feet. The sunny day with an air temperature of about eighty made for a very pleasant experience for my two advanced open water students, one of whom had never been to the bridge. We practiced blowing bags with reels and then took the grand tour. Octopuses are plentiful right now. The Atlantic spadefish are numerous and in many sizes. Divers were talking about a small spotted eagle ray cruising around the bridge; we saw one a couple of days ago at the bridge and one from the dock at the Jupiter Dive Center. There was no problem parking on this beautiful Friday afternoon. If you are planning a dive at the bridge this weekend, sacrifice a chicken to get a parking spot. Get in the water, Ham
