Bottom Temps Out Of Beaufort This Weekend?

I'm going out with Discovery this weekend.

Anybody know what bottom temps on the offshore wrecks are likely to be running?

It looks like the buoy says surface temps are currently around 72F.

Just saw this post. How were the dives? I know Olympus did a couple dives on the SPAR and said bottom temps were around 70F. I did 2 dives on the Indra a couple weekends ago and it was 61F at the bottom. I was in a 5mm with a 3mm hooded vest and it was a little chilly, but not unbearable.

The Atlas (offshore, 125' to the bottom) was 68F on the bottom Sat and Sun. The Portland (inshore, 60' or so to the bottom) was 63F on Sat.

I wore a 7/5mm suit with a 5mm hood. It was a bit overkill on the Atlas and totally comfy on the Portland.

I had 68F on the bottom and lots of sand tigers

Nice video, Doug! That was a fun dive!

Did you get anything similar from Sunday? The viz seemed a lot better on Sunday.
