I did the bridge today. Early tide, overcast, and plenty of parking. Pretty epic day for critter finds. Spotted eagle rays, manatee (twice!), seahorses, batfish, sea robin, pike blennies, dwarf froggie, striated froggie...

I might have to charge my batteries

May need a u/w photo primer for review as well.

This is very possible

I just took a look at some information from a data buoy off of Lake Worth. It's telling me that the surface water temperature is in the upper 60's. Is that what others are seeing?

Looks like the water temp took a plunge. Chilly air temps too. Diving conditions not looking good either

Latest reports for BHB on Book of Faces was yesterday and temps reported were 69-70. So that looks consistent with the buoy reading. Time to break out the 7mm or drysuit!

BRRRRR!!!
I heard dives were aborted at the bridge today. Vis in the 1ft range.

1’ might have been generous today. Going to continue through at least Sunday.

Oooof. That might be it for me for several weeks. I was freezing in 74 degree water last weekend. 68-70 is a no-go, even in a 7mil.
