Key Largo daily dive report

[Capt Slate]

So missed yesterday but what the heck, still the same weather as all month and most of Sept. Zero seas, flags are just simply hanging with no movement and water temp 82, ya think it is still July here! Gotta love it...So don't let this weather pass you up, come on down to the Keys and have some fun!! See ya underwater..

Well son of a gun, it wasn't flat calm today, but we went out and our people did great, we had 2-3 on the inside at the Statue and 4's on the outside at the Spiegel Grove but all did well, kinda got used to no seas but guess it can't go on forever, laying down again tonight to 1-2 tomorrow so get in the car and head to Key Largo...water temp still great, 82 degrees, with viz down a bit to 30 on the inner reefs..heading out to the Elbow in the morning expecting great viz...

 

[Capt Slate]

Hope everyone's day is going well, we do have a little wind again today in the upper keys, it is only 15 out of the NNE but making the inner reefs about 1-2 and outside 3-4's but easy rollers no chop just steady winds, supposed to lay back down by Thursday so let's count on that, hey water temp still at 82 by most reports, so like I said we may have to start wearing wet suits by December! Gotta love the warm Gulf Stream. So again beat the rush and head down to the keys for some diving fun..

Water temp 82...that is awesome. We did a dive last Saturday and here in Colorado the water temp was 47. 21 days until we will be in the Keys and 30+ warmer water....Yeah Baby.

 

[Capt Slate]

Ok Ok, a bit windy again today, around 15 or less out of the NNE, kinda like yesterday, but again it is looking better for the weekend. We got 1-2 on the inner reefs and 2-4 on the outside like yesterday the seas are 'rollers' rather then 'chop' which is better and all divers are doing fine. So make the call to your dive operator and take advantage of the still warm waters of the Fabulous Florida Keys!

Capt, how was it today?

 

[Capt Slate]

Just like the weather man predicted (for once) the wind ENE, has laid down a bit we only got 1-2 with an occasional 3 on the outer reef; a definite dive day and tomorrow, Friday is looking better. So make your reservations now, remember water temp. still 82 degrees, how about that, only in the Fla. Keys. You are always better when you are wetter!

And we are back in the weather again! Less then 2' on the outer reef, just a beautiful dive today, had 50 foot of viz on the Elbow, a great dive, water still warm. What more could you want...supposed to be less then 10 knts all weekend! So call now and come diving in the Fabulous Florida Keys!

 

[Capt Slate]

Where are you? Diving is great this weekend, literally FLAT CALM yesterday and today only 1-2 on the Elbow...what a fun time in the upper keys diving arena...still 82 degrees water temp, can't imagine having to wear a wetsuit before Christmas!!! So make your reservations now, the big international DEMA show is in Orlando next week so all the keys operators will be there to say hello!

Well we do have a little wind today, blowing around 20 knts from the NNE, 4-5 on the outside reefs, but fortunately we are in the week days and the weekend was fine and rumor has it that the weather will be fine for the coming weekend, so clean up the gear this week and head down to the Keys for some great diving this coming weekend. Don't forget it is always better when you are wetter!

 

[Capt Slate]

I'm back! Had a 5 day break in the weather reporting was at the DEMA show in Orlando, saw many of you and our friends in diving, show was great and seems more interest, of course the show was in Orlando and we got more visitors then Vegas, everyone knows Fla. is the diving capitol of the world. It was a good week not to report the weather, got our first dose of winter wind, finally it laid down a bit Friday and better yesterday and still a little windy now but around 10-15 knts, we are heading out to the Elbow probably 2-3-4's and getting better. So everyone have a great Veterans day and thank a Vet for their service/sacrifice for our freedom.

HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY TO ALL OUR WONDERFUL VETS, WITHOUT OUR MILITARY WE ARE NOT A FREE NATION! So nice today we have a boatload of vets from the Shake a Leg foundation, our wounded vets and it is so nice to have them here especially on Veteran's Day. Last night I attended with the leader of Shake a Leg our local VFW for the Marine's 238th birthday, very inspiring, I'm x-Army and Worth is a current Marine a wonderful evening. Weather is cooperating today as it should, NE at 10kns or less and 1-2 on the inner reefs and not much more on the outer reefs, just a wonderful day. Water is still 81-82 degrees, I was way too warm yesterday in my 3mm, going back to my skin for tomorrow's dive. See ya underwater and have a great Vets Day!

Well another one of those fall/winter days. Blowing about 20 E and raining. Just a good day to do oil changes and boat work. This is supposed to pass by Friday and off we go again to the dive sites. So plan the weekend at your favorite Keys Dive Operator and we will show you some underwater fun.
