The thermoclines are pretty weak compared to the ones you get in lakes and they will vary with the tides, storms, mixing etc.

This weekend there was more than one thermocline. I did a dive to 87 ft there on Saturday, which is almost as deep as you can get and the temperature was 59 degrees F. I didn't pay too much attention to the depth of the thermoclines but above the first one (I'd guess about 30 ft) temps were upper 60s and above the second (I'd guess 70 ft) temps were in the mid 60s.

Right and left cove are basically the same as far as thermoclines go.

Was there a thermocline....did you feel any? damn must be that drysuit !!!
I actully checked my watch computer and it recorded 57oF at 92ft. Have to check my suunto....(also figure out about my slight headace...Could it be? dove 30 mins at 40 feet had 10 mins surface interval and then went to 92ft).....
