We had about 40ft off Hibiscus Saturday morning, with a gently northerly current.

thanks didn't get to dive this past weekend lounged around house. Planning on sunday heading down at least to Pepper Park. Looking to do Datura again Labor day weekend some time. Viz is quite a bit higher now it looks like. It's all cool out there on the reef but see anything awe inspiring?
Also what's up with those spotted eels? we have been seeing them alot mid day after 2ish before it gets dark. Scared the wife, first time, she thought it was a snake.

So I shouldn't bother bringing my gear at all and just grab a beer instead?

 

[DebbyDiver]

Yes, that would be the better idea. And don't count on enjoying your adult beverage at a sidewalk cafe, either. It's raining like hell here and Earl and Fiona aren't even up here yet.

+1 on diving the Blue Heron Bridge for local shore diving since offshore may be unpredictable.
I'd dive with you, but I'm working those days.

Iztok, Blue Heron Bridge Tides for the days you are here. Looks like afternoon dives on those days.
