Caribbean Water Temperatures

[VGdiver]

We've got 78-79F in the British Virgin Islands right now. It got up to 87-88F in October before the rains came and cooled things down a bit. We had a large bleaching event but most corals seem to have recovered. I am seeing more sharks than in the past. I've seen more sharks in the last 2 months than in the first 2 years of diving here...and I'm diving half as much!!! Fish stocks look to be up and even the whales came early. We saw 3 humpbacks on Friday.

God you people have it so hard in that water....how about the water being in the low 40's here in New England with maybe in the summer topping it at 60.
