The seas will keep the boats in their slips, I don't expect any props in the wee hours of the morning. I'm planning to splash around 2:00 AM Tuesday Morning. Similar minded same ocean solo buddies most welcome. I'll be shaking the bugs out of my new sidemount gear.

Parking: 40 10'46.43"N 74 01'58.75"W

Breakfast anyone?
 
Let us know how it goes. I am more curious on the viz but the really wee hour is keeping me from venturing out and joining... The water should be warm enough.
I like to dive before midnight so I can make it to work the next day (after driving home and rinsing equipment) - so I guess I am an early night diver - tides are not cooperating for me yet...
 
-still too much lightning associated with this depression. It may have to wait until tomorrow, but that will push it even later into the night. Maybe we'll meet up on the next early evening tide cycle.
 
Sounds like a plan... :D
 
True but my guess is L Street will be a mess... could be wrong but looks iffy... Or am I just trying to talk myself out of this one??? LOL :D Winds are in the right direction but strong...
