Florida keys reefs today

[deeper thoughts]

Today we went out to the following reefs
Snappers ledge and Conch Reef, the viz was easily 100ft or better, the water was electric blue, decent current, seas around 1-2 ft or less, at conch reef 3 free swimming morays and one was a spotted moray beautiful also there was so much fish and ballyhoo i had to almost push them out of the way to swim, just a real nice day out there and finished it off with happy hour at snappers.

Well today I went out to Miramar and walked into my office and sat on my desk all day. The visibility sucked and at one point I had so much paperwork in the way I had to push it out of the way just to get to my email.

However your trip report is inspiring me to call in sick tomorrow.

Thanks for the info. We are driving to Key west from NJ starting tomorrow night, and it has not been easy to get a vis report from any part of the Keys.:14:

If anybody wants to join us, PM me and I will give you the info. We are doing a night dive on Tuesday night.

The upper keys have been enjoying some amazing vis the past bit while the vis in the lower keys has absolutely sucked. Had 20ish today on Looe Key and I was pretty happy about that. It was down to literally less than 5' as of Tuesday.

I'm hoping things clear up pretty soon!

Is it true that the lower keys viz is tidal dependent, i heard that when i was diving down there last year

 

[thedegnans]

We were on Samanth's reef during a tide change last year, and the vis was down to 3FT. It was a little freaky.

While we are doing most of our diving around Key West with friends, we will be taking a drive up to the middle/upper keys on Wed. It may sound silly, but I want to rub the Budda's belly.

The vis isn't tide dependant particularly since the reef is still 4 miles off-shore. It may vary by 5' or so depending on where exactly you're diving, but we don't plan dives based on tide schedules.

BTW, Buddha?

Key Largo is some of the best diving I've had, besides Cozumel, and the shallow reefs are a lot of fun. I can't wait to go back.
