BHB Tuesday.

A couple from yesterday. Hopefully the rain last night didn't kill the vis for today. See you at the bridge!

I heard there was a lot of rain up there last night - as in flooding in some areas. Please let us know how that might affect viz today. Thanks!

p.s. Can anyone confirm if this is a rosy blenny? (Tim K. took this pic a while ago)

That's what *I* woulda called it, but I see that the Smithsonian iPhone app calls it a "rose blenny". Humann and DeLoach use "rosy blenny". Both use the scientific name Malacoctenus macropus - assuming that's what this is (and that is what I assume).

going to be even more rain this afternoon and there's a tornado watch until 7 for all of south florida..


I'm looking at the Ikelite Underwater Housing with Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TS5 Digital Camera Kit -- possibly getting the Fantasea Line CoolFlash Nano Flash Single Pro Kit with Flex Arm, Tray, Fiber Optic Cable at the same time.. my budget is $700 or less and would like to be to use the camera above water as well.. Since many of the trolls here are camera enthusiasts, wanted an honest opinion on this compact camera -- i was liking it for the waterproof out of the housing which would be a plus if the housing floods for any reason.

The weather went through so fast today I don't think it will affect BHB vis that much

 

[iluvtheocean]

at least by the weather map it isn't over yet..

 

[djtimmy77]

the light rain won't affect it that much.

Dive was cloudy today, plus a lot of sediment in the water. Vis still good around 20 feet. Forgot to check the temp.

Wandered around a bit, and came across a stargazer. They sure are cute!

Interesting colors ...
