South Brohard
1000 - 1100
Winds: East ~10mph
Seas: Flat
Tide: Outgoing
Water Temp: 81
Viz: 4-6 ft
Diving with #1 dive buddy (Anne), open water testing new rebreather. Lots of baitfish and large snook around the blocks. Still a good bit of silt in the water. Great dive and with the exception of a few minor tweeks the rebreather functioned perfectly.

South Venice Beach
9:15 AM
NE winds 16 mph
Tide just outgoing
@ 18 ft temp 79 degrees
viz 3-6 but silty and snotty
waves-a bit swelly and some current on the bottom
small find in the blocks, lots of fish. Everytime I went to put my hand on the bottom there was a flounder or a lizard fish. Had a pesky remora bump me when I was coming out in about 8 ft. of water.
