Penfield Reef, Fairfield,Connecticut, Long Island Sound first dive!

[CaptDENIS]

I tried out all my equipment yesterday. Water was 65 degrees and i dove in my 3MM suit. Was a little cautious so i only dove in 12 feet. Water was chilly at first but everything was rather comfortable after a little bit in the water.

Tons of huge horseshoe crabs.
Even more Spider crabs all over the place.
Numerous Quohogs like the size of my hand.
a few conch snail (scongeel)
and the treat was to creep up on a winter flounder that was buried in the sand and then took off when i got too close.

Captain, thank you for the report, but you may want to posted on the NELD forum.This space is part of the NELD as well but this section is more for marketing porpuses.

By the way you guys are lucky, 65F at this time of the year sounds pretty good to me, here the water is at 46F, but will start to warm up soon.

Cheers.
