Out to Rube Allyn today. Weather great and the Gulf was flat. Temp was 62 degrees at surface. 60 at bottom. Vis was about 20 feet. Note that reef marker has disappeared over the winter months. You will have to rely on GPS to find reef.

Went to Doc's Barge and a nearby ledge. Both sites are about 15 miles offshore from Anna Maria Island.
Water was pretty warm up top not sure what the actual temperature was. There was a thermocline at about 20' Water temperature was 62 below the thermocline.
Viz was around 30'.

Went offshore around Johns Pass. About the same conditions as rboozer. 30'-40' vis, 63 temp at a depth of around 50'. The thermocline only registered about 1 degree on my computer but it was enough to let you know you were dropping below 20'!
Seas were less than 1 foot and sunny! Lots of hogfish died yesterday!

two more weeks...two more weeks... sucks huh?
Anyways, dove 20-something off LBK, depth was 87 feet, vis a little short of 20'. My computer said temp was 60F at the bottom, depth finder saying as high as 70 on the surface (sunny day). Two thermoclines, deeper one less drastic than shallower one though...

#1 dive buddy (wife) and I dove Spanish Rocks today. It was a fine day of diving. We did two dives of 52 minutes and 55 minutes.
Winds: NE 15-20 mph
Waves: <1 ft
Water Temp: 68 F
Viz: 10 - 15 ft
Tides: High and slack
Saw lots of fish and collected a few claws. Some brown drift algae present.
I think we should plan a reef clean up after crab season closes to remove ghost traps, abandoned rope and trash.
A side note: #1 dive buddy made her 100th dive today! 100 dives in 15 months, WooHoo!
