Has anyone dived at Fort Wetherill since the storm went through? Am headed there Sunday and am curious as to what I can expect for vis-temps and maybe tropicals.Thank you in advance!
 
Quite a few tropicals, vis. was bleh last weekend but it varies by the hour. Bottom temp was like 68 F last Sunday according to another diver there.

depends on hangover and boat schedule.
 
I'll be there free diving Sat. and maybe Sun. You can't miss me if I'm wearing my hood ;)

Well, it's probably not what you want to hear but.....

I did a dive there this afternoon and the visibility was down to about 5 ft and the water is getting really green. It looks like the phytoplankton are blooming a bit after all the mixing from the storm.

The offshore vis wasn't any better. I was out on the U-853 in the morning before I did Ft. Wetherill and the visibility out there was also around 5 ft.
 
well. mabye ill see some of ya there.
ill be the one with big doubles because im to lazy to reconfigure and dive a 80
 
I felt it was necessary to paint "GIDDS" across the forehead of my hood so I'm fairly conspicuous ;) Actually the idea is that my buddy won't lose me if diving in a group and my hood needed some sprucing up. I'll be with a guy, we'll have a bunch of squid and acting furtive about the purpose of the squid ;)
I usually see at least two guys with big doubles there on the weekends so you'll have to do better than that description-wise.

See now you are getting serious..... a few weeks ago you would have said:
"I'll be there snorkeling Sat."

Now you are saying:
"I'll be there free diving Sat."

;)
