Good gravy….Mrs Blay’s boy used to be such a polite altar boy. Now he listens to that loud music, wears a hoodie and big gold chains in the summer, and wears his pants about 12” below his waistline.
PVD on Saturday afternoon and then Starfish on Sunday morning.

Confirmed it’s on my end. I found the culprit. It’s the software I used to colorize the video. It reduces the resolution & FPS. I had not noticed that, so thank you!
I have a different tool to use to color adjust my videos I’m going to try in the future. Just tested one and it retains the 4k and 60 FPS that I shoot in.

cool, you shoot good video, but it will look better in HD. Longer to process and upload however.
I dove out Riviera Beach today. We went north to the Princess Anne. Vis was 70ft. At 80ft, there was a slight thermocline, dropping the temp to 82. Moderate north current. Saw 2 hawksbill turtles, a Goliath Grouper, a reef shark, nurse shark, and shot some fish.
We went north to Black Rock and took turns following that line up. Vis was 100ft, top to bottom plus some. Moderate NW current.
Now the storm moves in and this intel is worthless

Folks on the Starfish today got spooked by the deteriorating weather forecast and shifted their 10:00am booking to another day. Chris called and offered a refund or charter credit. I took the credit. The day wasn’t a loss because I mapped out a local European coffee shop / bakery (critical diver task), marina parking and got to take a long look at the Starfish vessel.
Matt from ScubaTyme (SFDH) in the next slip over motored out with 4-6 divers around 08:30. I had already committed to swapping out the strap on my BP. I could’ve hustled to make ropes off but I didn’t feel like breaking a sweat. Probably just lazy, TBH.
Stopped by PVD on the way home to top off my HP100 TS. I’m digging the amount of gas that provides. I’m assuming after I get C1 qualified and experienced, a set of HP130s is going to totally blow my mind.
Headed home in plenty of time to bless my daughter’s posters she and one of the Forwards are making for the start of her HS soccer season.

Here's a quick video of my dive from Saturday.
Went on PVD's Aurelia today. Capt Jason, with Ambar, Quinn, and Ethan as DM's. Ambar jumped in around Bath and Tennis to take a look. Based on that we went further south to Paul's Reef. Ambar jumped in again and said it was just about 10 feet, so we were good to give a try. Two groups, first Ambar, second with Ethan. I was doing private guide service today for one diver, we were in the second group. About ten minutes the customer I was guiding and I were separated from the group. We both had lights we could both see, so we continued the dive. Sometimes the swell would keep us in the same spot, sometimes the swell would abate a little, and then we would drift north. At the end of the dive the swell was stronger than the current so it moved us south. Nevertheless we were on the reef the whole time, and at one point completely immersed in large school Spadefish, very cool. Finished the dive and surfaced. Apparently we were the only two to finish the dive today. Going to give it another shot again tomorrow. Sorry no pics.
The swell was so large it had a very long period, so the boat ride was actually very smooth. On the way in while up on the bridge sharing chocolate chip cookies with Jason, I spotted a huge baitball. Jason obliged by making a wide circle and getting in close, like a purse seiner. Very densely packed school of mullet. We couldn't necessarily see if they were being hunted or not. Sea temp 83f.
