Of course it can change overnight but there has been a significant thermocline this week in WPB, Florida. It's been low 70's past about 45 feet but today we hit 68 on the second dive. Fortunately it warmed back up to 70's as the dive progressed but I for one am switching to my 5 mil this weekend! Just thought I'd give a heads up to anyone diving this weekend.
FYI cold water in WPB

Thanks. I'm scheduled to do a boat dive on Sunday so this is very helpful. How were the seas? I heard a few boats cancelled today due to sporty conditions? It's been blowing pretty hard here in Dania.

Confirmed. 72 degrees today in WPB with a south current. However, if you hovered 20 ft. off the bottom, it was toasty.
Ah, comfortable drysuit water.

In Stuart the temp at 60 ft has been 62 all week.

The viz in Stuart and Ft Pierce has been deteriorating the past few days. Can anyone report the viz in Jupiter?

Viz ~ 35 ft today in Jupiter. Temps dropped to about 65. Diving my 3 mil made it feel like Lake Michigan!

Anyone have any predictions for pepper park tomorrow. I would think at 15-20 feet it would still be warm. Thought about trying it tomorrow but no idea what to expect temp and viz.

I think pepper park will have zero vis, judging by the seas today in WPB
