Islamorada reef 6-4-12(pictures)

[deeper thoughts]

Today we dove the Davis/Crocker reef. Green water and 30-35 feet viz zt best. 1 foot chop and cloudy all day.

That being said it is a very nice relaxing dive.

Had an Atlantic stingray rest on my thigh
Green and goldentail moray, plenty of conch and hermit crabs
Took a few pix fooling around with macro and blurring out the backgrounds

Funny. We never really got the cold water this past winter ( no lemon season to speak of in Jupiter ), but it sure seems slow getting to bearable temperatures. May/June is such a tough time to judge.
I was going through my logs and pics and over the years they range from shorties and skins to 5 mils and hoods.

In any case my 3 mil is put away until the winter.
