We did a few dives today off Jupiter. Water temp on the bottom of the deep ledge (at 130 ft +) was only 64 degrees.

We also hit some wrecks in about 85 ft. A big school of jewfish- seemed like they didn't want to be in the cold clear water on the bottom.

Not surprised about the water temp. I think it was probably down in the low 70s on the deep ledge and Zion Train/Esso Bonaire when I was out a month ago. At the Bonaire the thermocline seemed to be right about at the main deck level and I'd say most of the jewfish were above it. Lemon sharks didn't seem to much like it either; there was only one that came around.
