Hurricane Isaac's rainfall dumped plenty of fresh water on south Florida and that runoff reduced vis at the bridge to eight feet. Four divers doing a refresher were on a schedule so we did the dive more to get comfortable in the water again rather than look at fish and critters. From time to time the vis was less than eight feet. The water temperature was eighty-two, a little cooler than the eighty-four to eighty-six that it has been. I wore a rash guard and a thin hooded vest for our fifty-four minute dive and was quite comfortable. We saw a southern ray, a yellow stingray, french, gray, blue, and queen angelfish. For conditions that I thought would be marginal, we actually had a successful dive.
