I went out yesterday, 11/26, boat limit on lobster after 2 dives. Had a gentle north current, 40-50ft vis, 80 degrees. The surface conditions were pretty sloppy all day.

OP
On the Great Lakes, they have the Gales of November. In Palm Beach County, we have the Sloppies of November. I'll take ours over the storms I've seen on the Great Lakes!!

As long as the viz is good underwater, so will I!
It was really bad near the inlet. We did the Corridor wreck trek on dive 3 and it was really getting rough when we were setting up the drop.

Question, has anyone ever done the blackwater dives with Pura Vida? Any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.

Yes - Pura Vida runs a good trip for blackwater, as does Walker's Dive Charters. The main difference is that PV does max 90 minutes and WDC does 120 minutes.
Blackwater dives are a different animal - people seem to either love or hate them. Reef Photo has a good article here that's worth a read, and here's another good one from Walker's.
If you don't have a camera capable of doing blackwater, a magnifying glass works well with a dive light. Bring a hood to keep the little critters out of your ears, and a red light for boat pickup. Enjoy!
