7/16 South Shore Dive Report

[MASS-Diver]

Manged to fit in a dive last Friday. We headed around to some rocks near the border of Cohasset and Hull (by boat). Vis was very low (approx. 3-5') due to an East wind earlier in the week. There was also a pretty good surge/ground swell running. On the postive side, even at 25' the water was 62degrees (again due to the East wind). Lots of eggers, v-notches, and ugly lobster disease infected bugs, but, we snagged a few keepers before calling it a day - low vis just isn't much fun.

Sounds like Black Rocks area do you dive there often? I used to snorkle and fish there when I was a kid off the beach and rocks.

Yup, we were just North and outside of the Black Rock area. We dive there on occasion, Rocky Beach is a decent shore dive, but the Balck Rocks themselves are rather shallow and vis tends to be poor. We freedive there a decent ammount though.
